Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an infectious disease clinic is caring for a client with a new diagnosis of Lyme disease. Which of the following agencies is responsible for voluntarily reporting cases of this disease to the CDC?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: State health department. State health departments are responsible for reporting cases of certain infectious diseases, including Lyme disease, to the CDC as part of public health surveillance. The state health department collects data on notifiable diseases and sends it to the CDC for monitoring and tracking outbreaks. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) The Office of the Surgeon General does not handle disease reporting;
C) The hospital infection control department focuses on preventing and controlling infections within the hospital, not reporting to the CDC;
D) The Local Red Cross chapter is not typically involved in disease reporting.
Question 2 of 5
a nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty performing activities of daily living. the nurse is functioning in which of the following roles when arranging for an occupational therapist to visit the client.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: case manager. In this scenario, the nurse is acting as a case manager by coordinating care for the client, including arranging for an occupational therapist. As a case manager, the nurse is responsible for assessing the client's needs, developing a care plan, and coordinating services to meet those needs. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Administrator focuses on managing resources and operations,
B) Nurse consultant provides expert advice but not necessarily coordinating services, and
D) Clinician involves direct patient care rather than coordinating services.
Question 3 of 5
a home health nurse is caring for a client who has chemotherapy induced nausea that has been resistant to relief form pharmacological measures. which of the following interventions should the nurse initiate (select all that apply)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: offer 120 ml (4 oz.) of cold 2% milk as a meal replacement. Cold milk is a soothing and easy-to-digest option that may help alleviate nausea. Milk can provide essential nutrients and calories when the client may not be able to eat a full meal. Other choices such as A (using seasonings) and B (ginger ale) may not be effective for resistant nausea caused by chemotherapy.
Choice C (elevating the head of the bed) is more helpful for gastroesophageal reflux disease rather than chemotherapy-induced nausea.
Choice E (guided imagery) is a non-pharmacological intervention for managing anxiety or pain, not specifically nausea.
Question 4 of 5
a nurse of a community clinic is preparing an educational guide about cultural variances in expression of pain. which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Puerto Rican cultural practices include the view that outspoken expressions of pain are shameful. This is important for the nurse to include in the educational guide because cultural beliefs about pain expression vary widely. In Puerto Rican culture, there is a stigma attached to openly expressing pain as it may be seen as a sign of weakness or shame. This information is crucial for healthcare providers to understand when caring for individuals from this cultural background.
Choice A is incorrect because it refers to Middle Eastern cultural practices, which may vary among different groups within the region.
Choice B is incorrect as it generalizes Native American cultural practices without specifying any particular tribe or group.
Choice D is incorrect as it stereotypes Chinese cultural practices and oversimplifies the complex beliefs around pain within Chinese culture.
