Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which annual screening should the nurse include when planning eye health programs at a preschool?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Screening for visual acuity helps identify children who may need corrective lenses or other interventions.

Question 2 of 5

Community health nurses are particularly concerned with the source of communicable diseases such as hepatitis A. Which group of individuals have a higher risk of contracting that type of hepatitis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hepatitis A is often spread through close personal contact and poor sanitary conditions, which are more common in low-income, cramped living situations.

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

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.
