NURS 440 Community Health Nursing(Study Set: QUIZ 5)
A nurse was shocked when late one night she saw a former high school friend going
through a trash bin outside a fast-food restaurant and pulling out half-eaten food. Which
of the following is the most likely explanation for a healthy young adult engaging in such
behavior?
A. He ate his meal but wanted more and had no more money.
B. He had full-time employment, but with such a low salary it was inadequate to meet
basic expenses.
C. A friend had thrown his meal away, and he thought he could find his friend's
untouched food.
D. He was doing this to fulfill an obligation of fraternity initiation at the college. - B
The causes of poverty are complex and include decreased earnings, increased
unemployment rates, and inadequate education and job skills. Thus, it is most likely that
he was unable to meet his basic needs through his current employer. If he had already
eaten his meal, it would be unusual to get additional food out of garbarge, rather he
should be able to afford to purchase additional food if he was able to purchase his meal.
The young adult would most likely not be pulling out half-eaten food if he was looking
specifically for a friend's meal. There is no reason to assume that he was part of a
fraternity.
Which of the following populations experiences the highest incidence of poverty?
A. Those between the ages of 18 and 64
B. Those under the age of 18
C. Those over the age of 65
D. Those between the ages of 18 and 25 - B
In 2014, the poverty rate for children under 18 was 21.2%, which was higher than all
other age groups. In 2014, the poverty rate for people between the ages 18 and 63 was
, 13.5 percent, and for people over 65 years, the rate was 10 percent. The textbook does
not list a specific percent for those between the ages of 18 and 25.
A school nurse was talking to the teacher of an 8-year-old child who was living with her
mother in their car. Which of the following concerns would lead the nurse to talk to the
teacher about the child?
A. Concern that the child is being mistreated by other children
B. Concern that the child has developmental delays
C. Concern that the child is given adequate food during lunch
D. Concern that the child may need to sit in the front in order to be able to see well - B
Poverty increases the likelihood of chronic disease, injuries, traumatic death,
developmental delays, poor nutrition, inadequate immunization levels, iron deficiency
anemia, and elevated blood lead levels. Homeless children may have delayed
communication, more mental health problems, and histories of abuse. Because the
student is attending school, the student should be eligible for free lunches and should
be provided adequate food. There is nothing that suggests that this child is unable to
see and poverty is not indicative of vision problems. It is possible that this chld is being
mistreated, and this may be something to speak with the teacher about; however,
developmental delays would be of greater concern to the nurse than mistreatment.
Which of the following is the most rapidly growing group of homeless?
A. Adolescents
B. Families with children
C. Persons in crisis
D. Single men - B
Families with children are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population with
the highest rates being found in rural areas. Adolescents, persons and crisis, and single
men are not the fastest-growing segments of the homeless population.
Which of the following statements best describes why health care of the homeless is so
expensive to the community?
