The mother is breastfeeding the infant.
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?Rationale:Vertical
transmission refers to the
transmission of a disease from
the mother to the infant during
pregnancy, childbirth, or
breastfeeding. Diseases such
as HIV, hepatitis B,
and syphilis can be transmitted
vertically. In this case, the nurse
should investigate whether
the mother’s health status (e.g.,
having a chronic infection) could
affect the infant during
breastfeeding.
, Primary prevention, which would include education on safe sex
practices.
A 23-year-old single mother of
three visits the Department of
Health walk-in clinic with
symptoms of abdominal pain,
painful urination, fever, and
vaginal discharge. She states that
these symptoms began three days
ago and she initially thought it was
a urinary tract infection (UTI) until
the vaginal discharge became
purulent and bloody. She reports
having three sexual partners over
the past 60 days. She has visited
the clinic three times in the past 12
months for similar concerns, but
no sexually transmitted infections
were diagnosed on those three
prior visits. Given the history of
clinic visits over the past 12
months with similar concerns, the
nurse determines that client
education should focus on
prevention. What type of
preventive education should the
nurse identify for this client?
Rationale:In this case, primary
prevention is the most appropriate
type of preventive education for
the client. Primary prevention i
, Anthrax. Diphtheria.Tuberculosis
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
which diseases are reportable
infectious diseases? Select all that
apply.
Encourage smoking cessation.Offer nutritional instruction.
Refer for prenatal care.
An adolescent tells the school
nurse that she is pregnant. Her
last menstrual period was 4
months ago, and she has not yet
received any medical care. She
smokes but denies any other
substance use. Which
interventions should the nurse
implement? (Select all that apply.)
, Compare the incidence of bicycle injuries at the beginning and end
of the program.
After assessing the health needs
of an elementary school, the nurse
identifies that an increased
incidence of bicycle injuries is a
significant issue. The nurse
develops a 2-month program with
the goal of eliminating bicycle
injuries in the school. The program
includes educational pamphlets
sent home to parents and two
educational sessions conducted
by the school nurse. What action
should the nurse take to evaluate
the effectiveness of the program?
Rationale:The most effective way
to evaluate the success of an
injury prevention program is by
measuring changes in the
incidence of the targeted
issue — in this case, bicycle
injuries — before and after the
program. By comparing
the number of injuries at the
start of the program to those at
the end, the nurse can directly
assess whether the program had
an impact on reducing bicycle
injuries.
