Question 1: During a home health visit, a school-age child who has
muscular dystrophy confides in the nurse that he was struck by his
parents. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
A. Report the incident to local authorities
B. Check the child for injuries
C. Refer the parent to a social service agency
D. Enroll the parent in anger management classes
Show Correct Answer and Explanation
Explanation
Correct Answer : B
Reporting the incident to local authorities is an important action, but it is not
the first priority. The nurse should first assess the child's physical condition
and provide any necessary care.
Checking the child for injuries is the first action the nurse should take, as the
child may have sustained physical harm from the abuse. The nurse should
document any findings and report them to the appropriate authorities.
Referring the parent to a social service agency is a helpful action, but it is
not the first priority. The nurse should first ensure the child's safety and well-
being.
Enrolling the parent in anger management classes is a potential intervention,
but it is not the first priority. The nurse should first address the immediate
needs of the child and the family.

Question 2: Report an IssueReport Wrong Answer
A nurse is planning a program about healthy eating at an
elementary school where most students select French fries and
pizza at lunch every day. Which of the following actions should the
nurse plan to take first?
A. Give positive feedback to students who make appropriate choices.
B. Help students recognize the value of making healthy food choices.
C. Provide students with resources about making wise choices
independently.
D. Determine students' motivation to learn about healthy food choices.
Show Correct Answer and Explanation
Explanation
Correct Answer : D
Giving positive feedback to students who make appropriate choices is a good
strategy to reinforce healthy eating, but it is not the first action that the
nurse should take. The nurse should first assess the students' readiness to
learn and their motivation to change their behavior.
Helping students recognize the value of making healthy food choices is an
important goal of the program, but it is not the first action that the nurse
should take. The nurse should first determine the students' current
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about healthy eating and tailor the
program accordingly.
Providing students with resources about making wise choices independently
is a useful way to support their learning, but it is not the first action that the
nurse should take. The nurse should first identify the barriers and facilitators
that influence the students' food choices and address them in the program.
Determining students' motivation to learn about healthy food choices is the
first action that the nurse should take. This is based on the principle of
learner-centered education, which states that the nurse should assess the
learners' needs, interests, and readiness to learn before planning and
implementing the program.

oriented nursing. Which of the following should the nurse include in
the job description? (Select all that apply)
,3
A. Investigate potential health and environmental issues.
B. Initiate support groups for parents of autistic children.
C. Provide wound care for clients in their homes.
D. Participate in local health surveillance activities.
E. Provide health-related education to community groups.
Show Correct Answer and Explanation
Explanation
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Solution
Choice A reason: Investigating potential health and environmental issues is a
key function of community-oriented nursing, as it helps to identify and
address the factors that affect the health of the population.
Choice B reason: Initiating support groups for parents of autistic children is
not a specific task of community-oriented nursing, as it focuses on a
particular subgroup rather than the whole population. This is more aligned
with community-based nursing, which provides care to individuals and
families in their natural settings.
Choice C reason: Providing wound care for clients in their homes is not a
specific task of community-oriented nursing, as it focuses on individual
needs rather than population needs. This is also more aligned with
community-based nursing, which provides direct care to clients in their
homes.
Choice D reason: Participating in local health surveillance activities is a key
function of community-oriented nursing, as it helps to monitor and evaluate
the health status and trends of the population.
Choice E reason: Providing health-related education to community groups is
a key function of community-oriented nursing, as it helps to promote health
and prevent disease among the population.

Question 4: Report an IssueReport Wrong Answer
A community health nurse is planning an educational program for a
group of women who are postmenopausal. Which of the following
, 4
outcomes is appropriate for this program?
A. Clients will schedule bone density screening.
B. Clients will arrange for mammograms every 3 years.
C. Clients will start hormone replacement therapy.
D. Clients will significantly decrease caloric intake.
Show Correct Answer and Explanation
Explanation
Correct Answer : A
Scheduling bone density screening is an appropriate outcome for the
program, as it helps to detect and prevent osteoporosis, a common condition
among postmenopausal women. Bone density screening is recommended for
women aged 65 years and older, or younger women with risk factors.
Arranging for mammograms every 3 years is not an appropriate outcome for
the program, as it does not follow the current guidelines for breast cancer
screening. The American Cancer Society recommends that women aged 45
to 54 years should have mammograms every year, and women aged 55
years and older should have mammograms every 2 years, or continue yearly
screening if they prefer.
Starting hormone replacement therapy is not an appropriate outcome for the
program, as it is not a universal recommendation for postmenopausal
women. Hormone replacement therapy may have benefits and risks
depending on the individual's health history, symptoms, and preferences. It
should be discussed with a health care provider before starting.
Significantly decreasing caloric intake is not an appropriate outcome for the
program, as it may lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health
problems. Postmenopausal women should maintain a balanced diet that
meets their nutritional needs and supports their weight management. A
moderate reduction in caloric intake may be advised for overweight or obese
women, but not a drastic one.
