HESI Community Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client with a history of peptic ulcer disease is admitted with severe epigastric pain. Which finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rebound tenderness can indicate peritonitis, which requires immediate intervention.

Question 2 of 5

What information should the nurse provide a client who has undergone cryosurgery for stage 1A cervical cancer?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: After cryosurgery for stage 1A cervical cancer, clients should avoid sexual intercourse for 3 to 6 weeks to reduce the risk of infection. Heavy, watery vaginal discharge is expected but not the focus of post-procedure instructions. Using tampons is contraindicated as they can introduce bacteria into the healing cervix. While reporting severe cramping is important, avoiding sexual intercourse is the priority to prevent complications.

Question 3 of 5

The healthcare professional is developing a program to promote healthy eating habits in a community with high rates of obesity. Which strategy is most likely to be effective?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Offering cooking classes that focus on healthy recipes is the most effective strategy among the choices provided. These classes not only provide valuable knowledge about nutrition but also offer hands-on experience in preparing healthy meals. This practical approach can significantly impact participants' behavior and increase the likelihood of them adopting healthier eating habits. Distributing educational pamphlets may not have the same level of engagement and interaction as cooking classes. A social media campaign, while informative, may not result in direct behavioral changes. Providing free health screenings, though beneficial for early detection, does not directly address the promotion of healthy eating habits, unlike the hands-on approach of cooking classes.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse obtains a heart rate of 92 and a blood pressure of 110/76 prior to administering a scheduled dose of verapamil (Calan) for a client with atrial flutter. Which action should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Verapamil slows sinoatrial nodal automaticity and delays atrioventricular nodal conduction, which slows the ventricular rate.
