Question 3 of 5

Which of the following statements about children and environmental hazards is correct?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Children are more susceptible to environmental toxins because of their smaller size. Children have higher exposure to environmental hazards due to their smaller size, higher metabolic rate, and developing organ systems. Their immature immune systems also make them more vulnerable. This makes them more susceptible to the harmful effects of toxins compared to adults.
Choice A is incorrect because the incidence of asthma among children has actually been increasing.
Choice C is incorrect as susceptibility to cancer is influenced by various factors, not just family history.
Choice D is incorrect as the prevalence of autism is a complex issue with multiple factors and not solely linked to environmental toxins.

Question 4 of 5

The public health nurse understands that which of the following is an example of a vector borne disease?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rocky Mountain spotted fever. This is a vector-borne disease because it is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. Ticks act as vectors by carrying and transmitting the bacteria that causes the disease. Hepatitis B, E. coli 0157:H7, and Anthrax are not vector-borne diseases; they are transmitted through other means such as contaminated food or water, bodily fluids, or spores respectively.
Therefore, B is the only choice that fits the definition of a vector-borne disease.

Question 5 of 5

The public health nurse understands that which of the following is an example of a vector borne disease?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rocky Mountain spotted fever. This is a vector-borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Ticks act as the vector carrying the infectious agent from one host to another. The other choices do not involve vectors. Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, E. coli 0157:H7 is transmitted through contaminated food or water, and Anthrax is caused by bacteria found in soil.
Therefore, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the only example of a vector-borne disease among the options provided.
