Community Health HESI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a presentation on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for a group of high school students. Which strategy is most effective for this age group?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Facilitating a discussion allows students to ask questions, share experiences, and engage with the topic in a meaningful way.
Question 2 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.

When assessing the health of a community, what is the most important information for the nurse to obtain?

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Which laboratory result requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Corrected Rationale: An arterial blood pH of 7.30 indicates the client is in acidosis, which is a life-threatening condition in DKA. Immediate intervention is required to correct the acidosis and prevent further complications such as organ failure or coma. Blood glucose of 250 mg/dL is elevated but not an immediate threat to life in comparison to acidosis. Serum potassium of 3.5 mEq/L and serum sodium of 135 mEq/L are within normal ranges and do not warrant immediate intervention in the context of DKA.
