Question 1 of 5
The Incident Command team discovers that over 30% of essential staff did not receive any communication. What should be done next?

Question 2 of 5
An older adult client visits the community health clinic, reporting the onset of pain, redness, and swelling in the right eye. What is the most important for the clinic nurse to ask the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If an older adult client reports pain, redness, and swelling in the eye, asking about discharge from the eye is crucial. These symptoms could indicate a number of conditions, including conjunctivitis or uveitis. Discharge, especially if it is pus-like or sticky, could suggest an infection.
Question 3 of 5
A healthcare provider requested a community health nurse to make weekly visits to a 10-year-old patient for weight reduction, monitoring fingerstick blood glucose levels, and severe headaches. The nurse is reviewing the patient's data. Which data warrants follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patient reporting that they become easily short of breath is a significant concern. Shortness of breath could indicate a number of health issues, including asthma, heart conditions, or other respiratory problems. This warrants immediate follow-up.
Question 4 of 5
A 42-year-old male client, who started experiencing mild flu-like symptoms 2 days ago, including an oral temperature of 101.2 °F (38.4 °C), came to the emergency department today due to increasing shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. The client has no significant medical or surgical history. He occasionally drinks alcohol but denies smoking or drug use. He mentioned that he works in a government building and opened a package that was full of white powder. He may have inhaled some of the powder and coughed a few times but did not have any problems until a couple of days later. What actions should be taken?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Given the client's symptoms and potential exposure to an unknown substance, it is crucial to monitor his vital signs and cardiorespiratory status. This will help healthcare providers detect any changes in the client's condition and respond appropriately.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is conducting a suicide awareness session for adults in the community. What information should the nurse include in the session?
