Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a voluntary organization?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is a voluntary organization that relies on voluntary contributions and membership fees.

Question 2 of 5
In providing comprehensive family health care, the nurse utilizes four (4) basic processes. These are listed in the order in which they are carried out as follows:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct order for the basic processes in providing comprehensive family health care is assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Assessment is the first step to gather information, followed by planning to set goals and strategies, then intervention to implement the plan, and finally evaluation to assess the outcomes. Choice A is correct as it follows this logical sequence. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order of these essential processes in nursing care.
Question 3 of 5
A Hispanic client refuses emergency room treatment until a curandero is called. The nurse understands that this person brings what to situations of illness?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A curandero practices holistic healing, which includes addressing the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of illness. Choice A is correct because holistic healing aligns with the curandero's approach. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while spiritual advising, herbal preparations, and witchcraft potions may be part of some cultural healing practices, they do not fully capture the comprehensive nature of holistic healing provided by a curandero.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse working in a community health setting is performing primary health screenings. Which individual is at highest risk for contracting an HIV infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. A 17-year-old who is sexually active with numerous partners is at the highest risk for contracting an HIV infection due to engaging in risky sexual behavior with multiple partners, increasing the likelihood of exposure to the virus. Choice B is less risky as the individual has had a relatively lower number of sexual partners in the past year. Choice C, although involving drug use, does not directly correlate with a higher risk of contracting HIV unless needles are shared. Choice D, a 34-year-old male homosexual in a monogamous relationship, has a lower risk compared to choice A as long as the relationship remains monogamous.
Question 5 of 5
A 15-year-old client with a lengthy confining illness is at risk for altered growth and development of which task?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 15-year-old client with a lengthy confining illness is at risk for altered growth and development of the task of dependence. Prolonged illness and confinement can lead to the development of dependence as the individual may become reliant on others for their care and needs. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect in this context. Loss of control, insecurity, and lack of trust are important factors to consider but are not directly related to the altered growth and development task of dependence due to illness and confinement.
