HESI Community Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer a scheduled dose of digoxin (Lanoxin) to a client. Which assessment finding should the nurse report to the healthcare provider?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Seeing halos around lights is a symptom of digoxin toxicity, which should be reported to the healthcare provider.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is developing a community health education program focused on preventing childhood obesity. Which intervention should be prioritized?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Creating a school-based exercise program directly targets increasing physical activity among children, which is essential in preventing obesity.

Question 3 of 5

A client is receiving atenolol (Tenormin) 25 mg PO after a myocardial infarction. The nurse determines the client's apical pulse is 65 beats per minute. What action should the nurse implement next?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Atenolol, a beta-blocker, should be administered because the client's apical pulse is greater than 60.

Question 4 of 5

The healthcare provider is caring for a client with a chest tube following thoracic surgery. Which intervention should the healthcare provider include in the plan of care?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Ensuring that the chest tube is not clamped or kinked is essential to maintain proper drainage and prevent complications. Clamping the chest tube can lead to a buildup of pressure in the pleural space, causing potential harm to the client. Milking the chest tube is not recommended as it can cause damage to the delicate tubing. Keeping the drainage system at the level of the chest ensures proper drainage by gravity, preventing backflow of fluids, but ensuring the tube is not clamped or kinked takes precedence in this scenario.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse obtains a heart rate of 92 and a blood pressure of 110/76 prior to administering a scheduled dose of verapamil (Calan) for a client with atrial flutter. Which action should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Verapamil slows sinoatrial nodal automaticity and delays atrioventricular nodal conduction, which slows the ventricular rate.
