Community Health HESI Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

A male client is brought to the emergency department as the result of a motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and states that he has no intention of ever wearing one. Within the framework of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), which response should the nurse provide?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Providing information on safety aligns with the TTM framework.

Question 2 of 5

While explaining an illness to a 10-year-old, what should the nurse keep in mind about the cognitive development at this age?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct answer: At the age of 10, children are in the stage of concrete operational thought, where they can think logically and organize facts. Choice A is incorrect as simple associations of ideas are more characteristic of earlier developmental stages. Choice C is incorrect as while children at this age are developing perspective-taking skills, their interpretations are not solely limited to their own perspective. Choice D is incorrect as while previous experiences influence their thinking, the ability to think logically and organize facts is more prominent in this stage of cognitive development.

Question 3 of 5

Under the present system, which of the following is the local government unit responsible for?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Under the present system, the local government unit is responsible for all the listed activities. This includes the operation and maintenance of health facilities, implementation of health programs/projects, and delivery of health services. Therefore, choice B, 'All of these activities,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they are all responsibilities that fall under the local government unit's jurisdiction as well.

Question 4 of 5

During the care of a client with Legionnaire's disease, which finding would require the nurse's immediate attention?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A decrease in chest wall expansion suggests that the client may be experiencing a serious complication, such as worsening pneumonia or respiratory failure, requiring immediate medical attention. This finding indicates a potential decrease in lung function, which could lead to respiratory distress. Pleuritic pain on inspiration may be related to the disease process but does not indicate an immediate need for intervention. Dry mucus membranes in the mouth may require attention but are not as critical as a decrease in chest wall expansion. A decrease in respiratory rate could be concerning but is not as urgent as a decrease in chest wall expansion, which directly impacts respiratory function.

Question 5 of 5

In the implementation of the national family planning program, the government assumes the role of a:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'facilitator.' In the implementation of a national family planning program, the government plays a role as a facilitator, meaning it helps to support and enable the access to family planning services and information. The government's role is to ensure that services are available, accessible, and of good quality, rather than making decisions for individuals or regulating them. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the government's role is not to make decisions on behalf of individuals (decision-maker), strictly regulate family planning practices (regulator), or impose decisions without considering individual choices (dictator).
