HESI Community Health Questions

Which intervention by the community health nurse is an example of a secondary level of prevention?

Question 3 of 5

A community health nurse is developing a program to increase physical activity among adults in the community. Which intervention is most likely to be successful?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Organizing free community exercise classes is the most likely successful intervention as it provides a structured and accessible opportunity for adults to engage in physical activity. This choice directly offers a practical solution by providing a regular and organized setting for individuals to participate in physical activity. Distributing flyers about the benefits of exercise, while informative, may not lead to actual participation. Partnering with local gyms to offer discounts relies on individuals taking the initiative to sign up for gym memberships, which may not be feasible for everyone. Hosting a health fair with information booths is informative but may not directly address the need for increased physical activity among adults in the community.
