Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Community health nurses are particularly concerned with the source of communicable diseases such as hepatitis A. Which group of individuals have a higher risk of contracting that type of hepatitis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hepatitis A is often spread through close personal contact and poor sanitary conditions, which are more common in low-income, cramped living situations.

Question 2 of 5

A school nurse is organizing a vaccination clinic for middle school students. Which vaccine is most important for the nurse to include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Tdap is recommended for preteens as part of the routine vaccination schedule to protect against these serious diseases.

Question 3 of 5

An older female client tells the home health nurse that she has no money, and since she does not deserve to eat, she has not asked anyone to bring her food. What information is most important for a nurse to obtain?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Assessing for suicidal ideation is critical to ensure the client's immediate safety.

Question 4 of 5

A client with hyperthyroidism is receiving radioactive iodine therapy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D.' The client stating 'I may experience some neck swelling' does not indicate a need for further teaching since neck swelling is an expected side effect of radioactive iodine therapy. Choices A and B are correct statements as the client should avoid close contact with pregnant women and children for a few days due to radiation exposure, and dry mouth and taste changes are common side effects. Choice C is redundant with choice D, making D the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5

A public health nurse is planning a vaccination clinic for a rural community. Which vaccine should the nurse prioritize for adults in this area?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: influenza.' Influenza vaccination is crucial for adults, particularly in rural areas where access to healthcare may be limited. Influenza can cause serious illness and complications, and vaccination helps protect individuals and prevent the spread of the virus. While vaccines for hepatitis A, varicella, and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) are important, prioritizing influenza vaccination in this scenario is essential due to its seasonal prevalence and potential impact on public health.
