Community Health HESI Study Guide Questions

Question 1 of 5

The delivery of basic health services was decentralized to the local government units. The legal basis for this is embodied in:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, RA 7160. This law, also known as the Local Government Code, decentralizes health services to local government units. RA 7035 is not the legal basis for decentralizing basic health services. EO 119 and PD 999 are also not the correct legal bases for the decentralization of health services.

Question 2 of 5

A public health nurse is working with a community to develop a disaster response plan. Which of the following is the priority action?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Identifying available resources and services is the priority action when developing a disaster response plan. This step is crucial as it helps the community understand what resources and services are already in place and what additional support may be needed during a disaster. Conducting disaster drills, educating the community about disaster preparedness, and developing a communication plan are important steps in disaster preparedness but come after identifying available resources and services. Without knowing the available resources, it would be challenging to effectively plan and respond to a disaster.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse-manager is planning to transform safety ideas into prevention and protection strategies in the workplace. What committee should review and plan policies and education about safety in the workplace?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The quality assurance committee is responsible for reviewing and planning policies and education related to workplace safety. This committee focuses on ensuring the quality of care and services provided, which includes implementing safety measures. The policy and procedures committee primarily deals with developing and maintaining organizational policies and procedures. The education committee focuses on educational programs and initiatives, not specifically on safety policies. The ethics committee is concerned with ethical issues and dilemmas, not safety policies and education.

Question 4 of 5

While assessing a client in an outpatient facility with a panic disorder, the nurse completes a thorough health history and physical exam. Which finding is most significant for this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sense of impending doom.' In panic disorder, a sense of impending doom is a hallmark symptom often experienced by clients. This intense feeling of dread or fear is a key feature of panic attacks. Compulsive behavior (choice A) may be more indicative of obsessive-compulsive disorder rather than panic disorder. Fear of flying (choice C) may be more related to specific phobias rather than panic disorder. Predictable episodes (choice D) do not align with the unpredictable nature of panic attacks.

Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The "unfreezing" phase involves preparing staff for change by explaining the necessity and benefits of the change, helping them to understand and accept it.
