QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS [GRADED A+]
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 -
✔✔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. - ✔✔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. - ✔✔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.
Clients who are homebound will qualify for Medicaid.
Nonadherence to healthcare recommendations is likely. - ✔✔Most of the
clients are unemployed or disabled.
Access to mass transit may be an issue.
Basic physiologic needs of this population are often unmet.
Correct choices are (A, B, and D). The unemployed or disabled will likely
comprise a majority of this clinic's clients (A); the lack of access to mass
transit may affect the population's ability to keep health care appointments
(B); and low-income clients are at risk for basic physiologic needs being left
unmet (D). Most clients are not likely to have health insurance (C) because
they lack the funds to pay the insurance premiums. Homebound status is
not a defining qualification for public assistance, such as Medicaid (E). To
state that a low-income population is more likely to be non-compliant with
healthcare recommendations is an example of stereotyping (F).
