Questions
QUESTION 1 OF 50
A school nurse is caring for a school aged child c/o shortness of breath with a pmhx of
asthma.
Which of the following findings in the school environment should the nurse identify as
potential triggers for the school-aged child's diagnosis?
Correct Answer: Bus loading zone location
Constructions
Air freshener
Cooking odors
Rationale: Asthma exacerbations in school-aged children can be triggered by environmental irritants and allergens
commonly found in the school setting. The bus loading zone location may expose the child to diesel exhaust fumes,
construction sites can generate dust and particulate matter, air fresheners release volatile organic compounds, and
cooking odors can contain irritants, all of which can precipitate bronchospasm. Identifying these specific
environmental factors is crucial for the school nurse to implement appropriate preventative strategies and manage the
child's asthma effectively within the school environment. This aligns with Bus loading zone location, Constructions and
Air freshener.

, QUESTION 2 OF 50
A nurse in a clinic is planning teaching for a client who was newly diagnosed with
hepatitis C. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the
teaching?
- Consume a low-carbohydrate diet until symptoms resolve
- Schedule an appointment for an immunoglobulin injection
- Abstain from sexual intercourse until antibody tests are negative
- Wear a mask in public places while receiving treatment.
Correct Answer: Abstain from sexual intercourse until antibody tests are negative
Rationale: Hepatitis C is primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, but sexual transmission is also a
potential, albeit less common, route, especially for individuals with certain risk factors. Therefore, advising the client
to abstain from sexual intercourse until antibody tests confirm resolution or a negative status is a crucial measure to
prevent potential transmission to partners. Other options are incorrect because dietary modifications are not the
primary intervention for hepatitis C, immunoglobulin injections are not indicated for hepatitis C, and respiratory
precautions like mask-wearing are not standard for this viral illness. This aligns with Abstain from sexual intercourse
until antibody tests are negative.
QUESTION 3 OF 50
A public health nurse is developing a presentation for a local day care providers about
infectious childhood diseases. Which of the following statements should the nurse
include?
- "Respiratory syncytial virus is spread through contact with respiratory secretions
from an infected person."
- "Rotavirus infections in children peak during the summer months."
- Children who have fifth disease will exhibit bloody diarrhea."
- Antiviral medications shorten the duration of a shigella infection."
Correct Answer: "Respiratory syncytial virus is spread through contact with respiratory secretions from an
infected person."
Rationale: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common, contagious respiratory virus that spreads through direct
contact with secretions or airborne droplets from an infected person's cough or sneeze. Rotavirus infections typically
peak during the winter months, not summer, and fifth disease, a parvovirus B19 infection, is characterized by a
"slapped cheek" rash, not bloody diarrhea. Shigella is a bacterial infection treated with antibiotics, not antivirals, and
the latter do not shorten its duration. This aligns with "Respiratory syncytial virus is spread through contact with
respiratory secretions from an infected person.".
