A nurse wants to help keep the community environment safe. Which of the
following is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take?
a. Conserve water by bathing less often.
b. Downsize to a smaller living space.
c. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
d. Replace all his or her appliances with new energy-efficient ones
- ANSWER- c. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
All persons can engage in minimizing their impact on the environment by
reducing, reusing, and recycling the individual products they currently
consume. Although it would be nice to replace all appliances for energy-
efficient newer models, most people can't afford that—furthermore, it is an
,Page 2 of 95
environmental issue to discard the used models. Similarly, downsizing to a
smaller living space could help the environment, because the nurse would
use less energy, but again, not everyone can afford all the expenses
involved in moving.
A nurse is completing a basic health assessment. Which of the following
questions should be asked by an environmentally aware nurse?
a. "Is anyone else in your family having these symptoms?"
b. "How many people live in your home?"
c. "What jobs have you held the longest?"
d. "Where did you live 10 years ago?" - ANSWER-c. "What jobs
have you held the longest?"
An exposure history should identify current and past exposures, have a
preliminary goal of reducing or eliminating current exposures, and have a
longterm goal of reducing adverse health effects. The "I PREPARE"
mnemonic consigns the important questions to categories that can be easily
remembered. Asking about previous employment helps to answer the "P"
of past work.
Which of the following best describes the purpose of local health
departments making unannounced inspections of local restaurants?
,Page 3 of 95
a. To enforce local laws and regulations
b. To ensure compliance
c. To provide oversight to potential exposure
d. To monitor employee safety - ANSWER-b. To ensure
compliance
Ensuring compliance refers to the process of making certain that permitting
requirements are met. Although this activity may be seen as a type of
monitoring, the question asks for the purpose, which is to ensure
compliance. Enforcement involves penalties such as fines or facility
closure.
A city has announced its plans to build a city dump near a community of
poor and predominantly African-American citizens. Which of the following
principles would the nurse be using when vocalizing opposition for this
plan?
a. Environmental justice
b. Environmental epidemiology
c. Tertiary prevention
d. Risk communication - ANSWER-a. Environmental justice
, Page 4 of 95
Environmental justice is the goal of campaigns seeking to improve the
unequal burden of environmental risks borne by impoverished and minority
communities. The Environmental Justice Act would be used in support of
the nurse's position. Environmental epidemiology is concerned with the
discovery of environmental exposures that contribute or protect against
disease or illness which is not accomplished by the nurse vocalizing
opposition to the plan. Vocalizing opposition to the plan would not be a
tertiary prevention strategy as the nurse is addressing a problem that does
not yet exist. Risk communication includes general principles of good
communication (right information, to the right people, at the right time). In
this scenario, the nurse is vocalizing opposition, not communicating risks.
A high school student considering a job in the restaurant industry after
graduation asks a nurse about workplace safety issues. Which of the
following acts would the nurse most likely discuss with the student?
a. Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels
Regulatory Act
b. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act
c. Food Quality Protection Act
