Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Following an emergency Cesarean delivery, the nurse encourages the new mother to breastfeed her newborn. The client asks why she should breastfeed now. Which information should the nurse provide?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When the infant suckles at the breast, oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary to stimulate the 'letdown' reflex and contract the uterus to prevent uterine hemorrhage.

Question 2 of 5

A client with a history of asthma is admitted with shortness of breath. Which finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Absence of breath sounds can indicate a pneumothorax or severe asthma exacerbation, which requires immediate intervention.

Question 3 of 5

A female client is admitted with a tentative diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome. Which finding is most important for the nurse to report to the healthcare provider?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In Guillain-Barre syndrome, decreased deep tendon reflexes are a critical finding that may indicate impending respiratory failure. This is due to the involvement of the peripheral nervous system affecting the muscles, including those involved in breathing. Reporting decreased deep tendon reflexes promptly is essential to prevent respiratory compromise. Facial weakness, difficulty speaking, and inability to move the eyes are common manifestations of Guillain-Barre syndrome but are not as immediately concerning as respiratory distress and impending respiratory failure.

Question 4 of 5

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

Question 5 of 5

During a follow-up visit, a client with diabetes reports difficulty maintaining a healthy diet. What should the nurse do first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Exploring the client's dietary habits and challenges helps the nurse understand the barriers to maintaining a healthy diet and tailor the intervention accordingly.
