Preview
1. A 12-year-old female is seen by the school nurse after recently experiencing increasing
difficulty sitting and paying attention in class, and increasingly illegible handwriting. The nurse
observes that the child has protruding eyeballs and a staring expression. What action should
the nurse take next?
A) Administer a vision test
B) Gather additional data by taking a health history and measuring vital signs
C) Refer the child for a psychological evaluation
D) Provide emotional support and reassurance
Correct Answer: B) Gather additional data by taking a health history and measuring vital signs
Rationale: The symptoms described (difficulty concentrating, legible handwriting, protruding
eyeballs, staring expression) suggest a potential thyroid disorder, such as hyperthyroidism.
Gathering more data and measuring vital signs is essential to gather more information before
taking further action.
2. When asked to help develop interventions to combat obesity among children, the
community health nurse should stress the importance of implementing which activity?
A) Provide dietary supplements to children
B) Set goals that are focused on developing healthier lifestyles
C) Encourage more frequent medical check-ups for children
D) Provide weight loss medications for children
Correct Answer: B) Set goals that are focused on developing healthier lifestyles
Rationale: Focusing on developing healthier lifestyles through proper nutrition, physical activity,
and behavior change is key in combating obesity. This approach is sustainable and addresses the
root causes.
3. A terrorist attack has occurred and several people have inhaled Ricin. Which intervention
should the emergency department nurse implement when caring for these clients?
A) Administer an antidote immediately
B) Provide supportive nursing care until antitoxin is available
C) Isolate the patients in a sterile environment
D) Initiate CPR immediately
Correct Answer: B) Provide supportive nursing care until antitoxin is available
Rationale: There is no specific antidote for ricin exposure, so the primary intervention is
supportive care until specific treatments (like the antitoxin) become available.
