Question 1 of 5
Given the limited supply, the local health department is required to prioritize the distribution of influenza vaccines. Who should the public health nurse advise to return to the clinic when more vaccines are available?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 60-year-old client with diabetes is at increased risk for complications from influenza. However, their agoraphobia (fear of crowds) might make them less likely to be exposed to the virus compared to the other individuals.
Therefore, they could be advised to return to the clinic when more vaccines are available.
Question 2 of 5
After the first injection of the Hepatitis B Vaccine (HBV) series is administered to a group of healthcare workers, what advice should the nurse give to them?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Regular monitoring of immunization levels is important after receiving the HBV series. This is because healthcare workers are at a higher risk of exposure to Hepatitis B, and ensuring immunity is crucial for their safety.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse has developed a six-month program to address the increased incidence of hospital-acquired infections among clients in a long-term care facility. The program includes three mandatory classes on proper handwashing techniques and increases the availability of hand cleansers in the facility. Which measure provides the best indication of the program's effectiveness?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Comparing the incidence of infections before and after the program's implementation is the most direct and reliable measure of the program's effectiveness. A significant reduction in the rate of hospital-acquired infections after the implementation of the program would indicate that the program is effective.
Question 4 of 5
The school nurse is conducting an audit of incident reports for adolescent students. Which finding is the best indication that the Healthy People 2030 objectives are being addressed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An improvement in the overall health of the student population is the best indication that the Healthy People 2030 objectives are being addressed. The Healthy People 2030 objectives aim to improve health and well-being nationwide.
Therefore, an improvement in the overall health of the student population suggests that these objectives are being met.
Question 5 of 5
After assessing the health needs of an elementary school, the nurse identifies that an increased incidence of bicycle injuries is a significant issue. The nurse develops a 2-month program with the goal of eliminating bicycle injuries in the school. The program includes educational pamphlets sent home to parents and two educational sessions conducted by the school nurse. What action should the nurse take to evaluate the effectiveness of the program?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Comparing the incidence of bicycle injuries at the beginning and end of the program directly measures the impact of the program on the issue it was designed to address. If the program is effective, there should be a noticeable decrease in the incidence of bicycle injuries.
