Community HESI Practice exam 1
questions with correct answers
Which presentation of an infectious disease is acquired through an indirect
| | | | | | | | | | |
transmission?
| +Syphilis contracted from a sexual partner.
| | | | | |
+ Measles resulting from a daycare center outbreak.
| | | | | | |
| +Malaria following exposure in a mosquito-infested area.
| | | | | | |
+Nosocomial influenza spreading rapidly in a long-term center - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Malaria following exposure in a mosquito-infested area. | | | | | | |
Malaria contracted from a biting mosquito is an example of a vector-related,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
indirect transmission of the disease (C). Indirect transmission of an infectious
| | | | | | | | | | |
disease involves the spread of infection through an intermediate source, such as
| | | | | | | | | | | |
vehicles, fomites, or vectors. (A, B, and D) are examples of direct transmission,
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
defined as the spread of an infection through person-to-person contact and is
| | | | | | | | | | | |
characterized by portals of exit and entry.
| | | | | |
A home health nurse knows that a 70-year-old male client who is convalescing at
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
home following a hip replacement, is at risk for developing decubitus ulcers.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Which physical characteristic of aging contributes to such a risk?
| | | | | | | | |
| 16% increase in overall body fat.
| | | | | |
| Reduced melanin production.
| |
| Thinning of the skin with loss of elasticity.
| | | | | | | |
,Calcium loss in the bones. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Thinning of the skin with loss
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
of elasticity.
| |
Thin, non-elastic skin (C) is an important factor in decubitus formation.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Proportion of body fat to lean mass increases with age (A), and might help
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
decrease ulcer tendency. (B) results in grey hair. (D) can contribute to broken
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
bones, but it is probably not a factor in decubitus formation.
| | | | | | | | | |
The nurse is developing a plan to provide quality health care for a certain
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
community. Data obtained from which resources should be helpful to the nurse in
| | | | | | | | | | | |
developing a community healthcare plan for this community? (Select all that
| | | | | | | | | | | |
apply.)
| Census data. | |
| Risk management data.
| | |
| Budgeting process information. | | |
| Available workforce in the community.
| | | |
| Client-satisfaction surveys. | |
Changes in the community's demographic data. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Census
| | | | | | | | | |
data. |
| Risk management data.
| | |
| Budgeting process information. | | |
| Client-satisfaction surveys. | |
| Changes in the community's demographic data.
| | | | | |
Census data (A), risk management data (B), budgeting process information (C),
| | | | | | | | | | |
data obtained from client-satisfaction surveys (E), and changes in the
| | | | | | | | | |
community's demographic data (F) provide pertinent data for planning for the
| | | | | | | | | | |
current and future healthcare needs of the community. Available workforce (D),
| | | | | | | | | | |
although a concern, is not a factor in quality-assurance directives.
| | | | | | | | |
, The nursing education coordinator is creating employee orientation materials for
| | | | | | | | | |
staff nurses who plan to work at a clinic that serves a lower socioeconomic
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
neighborhood. What information should the educator include regarding the
| | | | | | | | |
clinic's client population? (Select all that apply.)
| | | | | |
| Most of the clients are unemployed or disabled.
| | | | | | | |
| Access to mass transit may be an issue.
| | | | | | | |
| Clients will need reminders to bring insurance cards.
| | | | | | |
| Basic physiologic needs of this population are often unmet.
| | | | | | | | |
| Clients who are homebound will qualify for Medicaid.
| | | | | | |
Nonadherence to healthcare recommendations is likely. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |
Most of the clients are unemployed or disabled.
| | | | | | | |
| Access to mass transit may be an issue.
| | | | | | | |
| Basic physiologic needs of this population are often unmet.
| | | | | | | | |
Correct choices are (A, B, and D). The unemployed or disabled will likely comprise
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|a majority of this clinic's clients (A); the lack of access to mass transit may affect
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
the population's ability to keep health care appointments (B); and low-income
| | | | | | | | | | |
clients are at risk for basic physiologic needs being left unmet (D). Most clients
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
are not likely to have health insurance (C) because they lack the funds to pay the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
insurance premiums. Homebound status is not a defining qualification for public
| | | | | | | | | | |
assistance, such as Medicaid (E). To state that a low-income population is more
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
likely to be non-compliant with healthcare recommendations is an example of
| | | | | | | | | | |
stereotyping (F). |
