HESI Community Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

A public health nurse is planning a smoking cessation program for a local community. Which component is most important to include in the program?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Providing strategies for coping with withdrawal symptoms addresses a significant barrier to quitting smoking.

Question 2 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 3 of 5

While screening all children in the third grade for head lice, the school nurse observes that one girl has a brownish thickening on her neck. Which action should the nurse take in response to this finding?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A medical evaluation is necessary to properly diagnose and treat the condition observed.

Question 4 of 5

The wife of an older adult man who has had diabetes mellitus for the past 10 years reports to the home health nurse that her husband fell yesterday while taking his daily walk in the neighborhood. He has a bruised hand and a small abrasion on his left knee. The nurse assesses that his neurologic vital signs are stable. To reduce risk for future falls, which assessment is most important for the nurse to obtain?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Assessing for paresthesia (numbness or tingling) in the feet can help determine if the client has a loss of sensation, which increases fall risk.

Question 5 of 5

A client with a history of hypertension is admitted with acute renal failure. Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Urine output of 50 mL in 4 hours indicates oliguria, which can be a sign of worsening renal function and requires immediate intervention. In acute renal failure, maintaining adequate urine output is crucial to prevent further kidney damage and manage fluid balance. A high blood pressure reading (Option A) is concerning but may not require immediate intervention in this scenario as it could be due to the history of hypertension. A heart rate of 100 beats per minute (Option C) is slightly elevated but may not be the most critical finding at this moment. Nausea and vomiting (Option D) are important to assess but are not as urgent as addressing oliguria in a client with acute renal failure.
