Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the needs expressed by community members helps tailor health interventions to address their specific concerns.

Question 2 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.
