Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: health history. Obtaining the health history is crucial to assess the severity of tuberculosis, previous treatments, and potential risk factors.

A) may provide general information but do not directly impact the management of tuberculosis. Household members (
B) are important for contact tracing but not the priority. Occupation (

Question 2 of 5
a newly hired occupational health nurse is assessing hazards in the work environment. which of the following actions will help the nurse detect potential physical hazards?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because tracking rates of illness caused by infection among employees can help identify potential physical hazards such as poor hygiene practices or exposure to harmful substances. This data can lead to interventions to prevent future illnesses. Surveying workers about emotional stress (
B) is related to mental health, not physical hazards. Identifying industrial toxins (
C) is important but focuses on chemical hazards, not exclusively physical. Measuring noise levels (

Question 3 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: The correct answer is B: sports injury prevention. Adolescents are more likely to die from sports-related injuries than any other cause listed. This is because sports activities carry inherent risks of serious injuries, such as head trauma or spinal cord injuries. By prioritizing sports injury prevention education, the school nurse can help reduce the likelihood of fatalities within this age group.
Choice A (motor vehicle safety) is also important, but statistics show that sports injuries are the leading cause of death for adolescents.
Choice C (substance abuse prevention) and D (gun safety) are significant issues, but they are not the leading causes of death for this age group.
