Question 1 of 5
Which community would benefit most from a lead poisoning education and screening program provided by the public health nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Families with young children living primarily in 100-year-old farmhouses would likely benefit most from a lead poisoning education and screening program. Older homes, particularly those built before 1978, often contain lead-based paint, which can pose a significant risk for lead poisoning, especially in young children.

Correct Answer: B,C,D,E
Rationale: Puncture-resistant sharps containers, needleless medication delivery systems, vaccination schedule for Hepatitis B, and personal protective equipment (PPE) are all critical components of an exposure control plan for blood-borne pathogens. These measures directly reduce the risk of exposure and infection.
Question 3 of 5
A 2-month-old infant contracts a disease through vertical transmission. Which situation should the nurse investigate further to ascertain how the infant might have been exposed to the disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Breastfeeding is a common method of vertical transmission. Certain infections in the mother can be passed to the infant through breast milk.
Therefore, if a 2-month-old infant contracts a disease that could be transmitted vertically, it would be important to investigate if the mother could be the source of the infection.
