A community health nurse is developing a program to increase physical activity among adults in the community. Which intervention is most likely to be successful?
A. distributing flyers about the benefits of exercise
B. organizing free community exercise classes
C. partnering with local gyms to offer discounts
D. hosting a health fair with information booths
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Organizing free community exercise classes is the most likely successful intervention as it provides a structured and accessible opportunity for adults to engage in physical activity. This choice directly offers a practical solution by providing a regular and organized setting for individuals to participate in physical activity. Distributing flyers about the benefits of exercise, while informative, may not lead to actual participation. Partnering with local gyms to offer discounts relies on individuals taking the initiative to sign up for gym memberships, which may not be feasible for everyone. Hosting a health fair with information booths is informative but may not directly address the need for increased physical activity among adults in the community.

- B. distributing brochures about STI prevention
- C. showing a documentary on the impact of STIs
- D. facilitating a discussion on safe sex practices
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Facilitating a discussion allows students to ask questions, share experiences, and engage with the topic in a meaningful way.
An older adult client visits the community health clinic and reports the onset of pain, redness, and swelling of the right eye. Which question is most important for the clinic nurse to ask the client?
- A. do you have any discharge from the eye
- B. have you started any new prescriptions
- C. are all of your immunizations current
- D. how often do you wash your hands
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: New medications can have side effects that include eye issues, so it is important to determine if there is a link.
When planning a community health fair to promote mental health awareness, which activity should be included to best engage participants?
- A. free mental health screenings
- B. lectures on mental health topics
- C. distribution of mental health resources
- D. interactive workshops on stress management
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best activity to engage participants in a community health fair promoting mental health awareness is to offer free mental health screenings. This activity not only attracts participants but also provides them with immediate, valuable information about their mental health status. Free screenings can help raise awareness, encourage early detection of mental health issues, and prompt participants to seek further assistance if needed. Lectures, while informative, may not be as engaging or impactful as the personalized feedback individuals receive from screenings. Distributing resources is helpful, but active engagement through screenings is more effective in promoting awareness and encouraging action. Interactive workshops on stress management are beneficial but might not provide the same level of individualized insight into mental health as screenings do.

Correct Answer: D
