Question 1 of 5
A school nurse is planning safety education for a group of adolescents. The nurse should give priority to which of the following topics as the leading cause of death for this age group?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among adolescents, making motor vehicle safety education a priority.
Question 2 of 5
A first response team is working at the location of a bombing incident. A nurse triaging a group of clients should give treatment priority to which of the following clients?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A client who has a rigid abdomen with manifestations of shock. This client should be given treatment priority as they are likely experiencing internal bleeding from the bombing incident, leading to the rigid abdomen and manifestations of shock. Internal bleeding is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention to prevent further complications. The other choices (A, B,
C) do not present immediate life-threatening conditions requiring urgent intervention like a client with a rigid abdomen and shock. Treating the client with internal bleeding first ensures the best chance for survival and prevents further deterioration.
Question 3 of 5
A public health nurse is responding to a suspected anthrax exposure at a workplace. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because referring coworkers for prophylactic antibiotics is crucial in preventing the development of anthrax infection after exposure. This action aligns with public health guidelines to minimize the risk of infection spread. Alerting family members (
A) is not within the nurse's role without consent. Quarantining the employee (
B) may not be necessary if proper precautions are taken. Instructing the client to wear a mask (
D) is insufficient protection against anthrax exposure.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working in a shelter following a disaster. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Address the physical needs of clients. In a disaster situation, addressing physical needs such as providing water, food, shelter, and medical care is the priority to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals. This action takes precedence over other choices as it directly impacts survival. Creating diversionary activities (
A) can come later once basic needs are met. Helping gather supplies (
C) is important but not as urgent as addressing physical needs. Exploring feelings (
D) is essential for emotional support but should not be the priority over physical needs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
