Question 1 of 5
An older adult client has lost 5 lbs (2.3 kg) since their last check-up a month ago. The client maintains good hygiene, still drives, and lives alone. To which organization should the parish nurse refer this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Senior Citizen Center offers a variety of services to older adults, including meal programs, health and wellness programs, and opportunities for social interaction. This could help address the client's weight loss and potential social isolation.
Question 2 of 5
The Incident Command team discovers that over 30% of essential staff did not receive any communication. What should be done next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All of the above actions should be taken to address the communication issue. The Incident Command team should identify the issue the facility is facing, determine actions to address the issue, and identify parameters to monitor to ensure all essential personnel are aware of the communication tree.
Question 3 of 5
A teenager with a history of recurring atopic dermatitis (eczema) tells the school nurse of a desire to play high school sports. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Showering with non-perfumed soaps immediately after practice is a good practice for a teenager with a history of recurring atopic dermatitis (eczema) who wants to play high school sports. Heat and humidity can cause perspiration, which intensifies itching with atopic dermatitis (eczema), so the client should be encouraged to shower, using non-perfumed soaps, as soon as possible after physical activity to remove perspiration.
Question 4 of 5
In the event of a communication breakdown during a disaster, what actions should be taken?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Confirming that all essential staff are on either the lockdown team or the relief team ensures that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities, which is crucial for effective communication during a disaster.
Question 5 of 5
A child living in an inner city setting reports that there are no playgrounds or sidewalks in their area, so their grandmother does not allow them to go outside after school. The grandmother cooks traditional meals every evening. The child describes how they love their grandmother's cooking, and they get to use homemade tortillas instead of forks to pick up their food to eat. The child reports that they become short of breath easily when they are playing with their friends, and they have “a lot†of headaches. On a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being very happy, how would you rate your happiness with your weight? The child reports “2.â€. What do you believe is one thing that you can change to help you lose some of your weight?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All of the above strategies - increasing physical activity, improving diet, and reducing portion sizes - are important for weight loss. They work together to create a calorie deficit, which is necessary for weight loss. It's also important to note that these strategies should be implemented as part of a sustainable lifestyle change, rather than a short-term diet.
