The nurse administers a booster dose of DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis)
vaccine to an infant. Which level of prevention is the nurse implementing?
Primary prevention.
Tertiary prevention.
Secondary prevention.
Primary nursing. - CORRECT ANSWER-Primary prevention.
,Primary prevention (A) involves activities that focus on reducing the potential for
illness before it occurs, such as immunizations. Tertiary prevention (B) minimizes
the consequences of a disorder or illness through aggressive management or
rehabilitation. Secondary prevention (C) includes early diagnosis and
implementing interventions aimed at a cure or reducing the progress of a disease.
Primary nursing (D) describes a method of nursing management and nursing care
assignments, not a healthcare strategy.
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.
