Community Health HESI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning a community health fair to promote mental health awareness. Which activity is most likely to engage participants?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A workshop on stress management techniques is the most engaging activity as it allows participants to actively participate, learn practical skills, and interact with others. This hands-on approach fosters engagement and provides attendees with tools they can directly apply in their lives. Choice A, a lecture, may be informative but lacks the interactive element that promotes engagement. Choice C, a panel discussion, might be informative but could be passive for attendees. Choice D, distributing brochures, is informative but lacks the interactive and engaging nature of a workshop.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with Addison's disease. Which finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Low blood pressure in a client with Addison's disease requires immediate intervention as it can indicate an Addisonian crisis, a life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt treatment. Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a characteristic finding in Addison's disease but does not require immediate intervention. Nausea and vomiting can be managed symptomatically in Addison's disease. While hypoglycemia needs attention, it is not the most critical finding requiring immediate intervention in this context.
Question 3 of 5
A client with a history of diabetes mellitus is admitted with hypoglycemia. Which finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremors can indicate severe hypoglycemia, which requires immediate intervention to prevent complications.
Question 4 of 5
A public health nurse is developing a campaign to promote breast cancer screening. Which population should be the primary target of this campaign?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is women aged 40-50. This age group is at an increased risk for breast cancer and should be the primary target for screening campaigns. Women in this age range are more likely to benefit from regular screening as early detection can lead to better outcomes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because women aged 20-30 are generally not recommended for routine screening due to their lower risk, women aged 30-40 have a moderate risk but are not the primary target group, and women aged 50-60 should still be screened but targeting the 40-50 age group is more crucial for early detection and intervention.
Question 5 of 5
A public health nurse is evaluating a program designed to reduce the incidence of diabetes in the community. Which outcome indicates that the program is successful?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A reduction in diabetes-related complications indicates that individuals are effectively managing their condition and the program is successful.
