Question 1 of 5
The public health nurse is assigned to the population of clients in an inner-city community. The nurse identifies which of the following as a priority intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Performing a windshield survey provides a broad overview of the community's health status, resources, and needs, informing targeted interventions. Surveys, focus groups, and interviews are more specific and less immediate for initial assessment.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is making a room assignment for a client who has scabies. In which of the following rooms should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A private room is the most appropriate choice for a client with scabies. Scabies is highly contagious and spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact or indirectly through contaminated items. Isolating the patient in a private room minimizes the risk of transmission to other patients and allows for better control of the environment, with contact precautions such as gloves and gowns. A negative-pressure room is for airborne diseases, a semi-private room risks cross-contamination, and a positive-pressure room is for immunocompromised patients, not scabies.
Question 3 of 5
