HESI Community Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a community health education program focused on preventing childhood obesity. Which intervention should be prioritized?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Creating a school-based exercise program directly targets increasing physical activity among children, which is essential in preventing obesity.
Question 2 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.
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.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving atenolol (Tenormin) 25 mg PO after a myocardial infarction. The nurse determines the client's apical pulse is 65 beats per minute. What action should the nurse implement next?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Atenolol, a beta-blocker, should be administered because the client's apical pulse is greater than 60.
Question 5 of 5
The healthcare professional is preparing a presentation on the impact of substance abuse on families. Which approach is most effective for engaging the audience?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sharing personal stories from individuals affected by substance abuse is the most effective approach for engaging the audience. Personal stories evoke emotions, create empathy, and make the impact of substance abuse more relatable and tangible for the audience. This approach helps in fostering a deeper understanding of the real-life consequences of substance abuse on families. The other options, such as showing statistical data (choice A), distributing informational brochures (choice C), and providing a list of treatment centers (choice D), may be informative but may not engage the audience on an emotional level as effectively as personal stories.
