Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is teaching a group of new mothers about infant care. Which topic should the nurse prioritize?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Recognizing signs of dehydration is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of infants.

Question 2 of 5

The public health nurse is evaluating resources in a rural community. Which healthcare resource is most important for the community?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Access to trauma care is crucial in rural areas due to the potential for delayed emergency response times.

Question 3 of 5

A 6-year-old child is alert but quiet when brought to the emergency center with periorbital ecchymosis and ecchymosis behind the ears. The nurse suspects potential child abuse and continues to assess the child for additional manifestations of a basilar skull fracture. What assessment finding would be consistent with the basilar skull fracture?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Raccoon eyes (periorbital ecchymosis) and Battle's sign (ecchymosis behind the ear) are signs of a basilar skull fracture, so the nurse should assess for possible meningeal tears that manifest as a halo sign with CSF leakage from the ears or nose.

Question 4 of 5

A client with hyperthyroidism is receiving radioactive iodine therapy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D.' The client stating 'I may experience some neck swelling' does not indicate a need for further teaching since neck swelling is an expected side effect of radioactive iodine therapy. Choices A and B are correct statements as the client should avoid close contact with pregnant women and children for a few days due to radiation exposure, and dry mouth and taste changes are common side effects. Choice C is redundant with choice D, making D the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5

During a home visit, the nurse observes that an elderly client has a cluttered living environment and poor lighting. What should the nurse do first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assessing the client's risk for falls is crucial as a cluttered environment and poor lighting increase the likelihood of falls.
