QUESTION 1: A community health nurse is designing a clinic program to reduce
infant mortality in a high-risk neighborhood. Which initial action best reflects a
population-based approach to maternal-child health?
A. Offer individualized home visits to the 20 highest-risk pregnant clients.
B. Create a breastfeeding promotion campaign with community leaders and
local clinics.
,C. Provide extra prenatal vitamins to clients who request them.
D. Refer each pregnant client to a tertiary perinatal center for care.
Rationale: A community campaign that partners with local leaders and clinics
targets the population, addresses social influences, and promotes sustainable
preventive measures—core to population-based maternal-child health. Home
visits focus on individuals rather than broad population strategies. Supplying
vitamins on request is passive and lacks community engagement. Referrals to
tertiary centers don't address community-level prevention.
QUESTION 2: A new graduate nurse is planning care for postpartum clients and
wants to integrate historical strengths of maternal-newborn nursing. Which
practice best reflects that evolution?
A. Focusing exclusively on discharge education without follow-up.
B. Providing family-centered care, education, and coordination across settings.
C. Prioritizing rigid hospital-only care models regardless of family context.
D. Limiting involvement with community resources for postpartum support.
Rationale: The evolution of maternal-newborn nursing emphasizes family-
centered care, education, and care coordination across hospital and community
settings. Discharge education must include follow-up. Rigid hospital-only models
do not reflect modern evolution. Community resources are essential for
postpartum families.
QUESTION 3: A nurse is teaching a class on female reproductive anatomy. Which
structure is responsible for producing estrogen and progesterone?
A. Fallopian tube
B. Ovary
C. Uterus
D. Cervix
,Rationale: Ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the
menstrual cycle and support pregnancy. The fallopian tube is the site of
fertilization. The uterus houses the fetus. The cervix connects the uterus to the
vagina.
QUESTION 4: A pediatric nurse is asked why school-based health programs
became common. Which explanation best links historical child health trends to
the development of these programs?
A. School-based programs replaced all hospital-based pediatric care.
B. Recognition that children's health directly impacts learning and long-term
outcomes drove access to preventive care in schools.
C. School programs were created solely to reduce healthcare costs for hospitals.
D. Schools adopted health programs to increase attendance for funding purposes.
Rationale: School-based health programs emerged from the historical
understanding that child health is linked to educational success. The recognition
of this connection led to providing preventive care, screenings, and health
education directly in schools to improve access.
QUESTION 5: A public health nurse interprets a county report showing increased
maternal mortality due to hypertensive disorders. Which nursing initiative should
be prioritized to reduce this cause-specific mortality?
A. Offer prenatal education on blood pressure self-monitoring and timely
antepartum assessments.
B. Recommend all pregnant women avoid prenatal visits to reduce stress.
C. Delay screening for preeclampsia until the third trimester only.
D. Advise cessation of all antihypertensive medications during pregnancy.
Rationale: Education on blood pressure self-monitoring and timely antenatal
assessments enables early identification and management of hypertensive
disorders, reducing maternal mortality risk. Avoiding prenatal visits would
, increase risk. Early and ongoing screening is necessary. Abrupt cessation of
antihypertensive therapy can be harmful.
QUESTION 6: A pediatric nurse sees frequent ER visits for childhood asthma
exacerbations linked to poor medication adherence. Which nursing action best
addresses morbidity at the family level?
A. Provide a standardized one-time lecture about asthma pathophysiology.
B. Conduct a family-centered assessment to identify barriers and create an
individualized adherence plan.
C. Instruct the family that nonadherence is their responsibility and provide no
further follow-up.
D. Recommend immediate hospital admission for all future exacerbations.
Rationale: Conducting a family-centered assessment identifies specific barriers
to adherence and allows for individualized solutions. One-time lectures are
ineffective for behavior change. Blaming the family doesn't solve underlying
issues. Hospital admission is not appropriate for every exacerbation.
QUESTION 7: A nurse is caring for a client who recently immigrated to the United
States. Which factor is most important to consider when providing care?
A. The client's country of origin
B. The client's cultural beliefs and practices
C. The client's English proficiency only
D. The client's insurance status
Rationale: Understanding the client's cultural beliefs and practices is essential
for providing culturally competent care. Country of origin provides context but
individual beliefs matter more. English proficiency is one factor among many.
Insurance status doesn't determine cultural needs.
