b. An isolated area of underserved populations within an urban region

c. A region with insufficient numbers of health care providers

d. A rural region of the United States with a population density of less than 10,000 - correct answer
✔✔ANS: C

A region with insufficient numbers of health care providers An HPSA is a geographical area that has
insufficient numbers of health professionals according to criteria established by the federal government.

services to residents who live in several counties. DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember (Knowledge) REF: p.
393



A migrant farmworker has been injured while working on the farm. Which of the following would
provide assistance to care for this injury?

a. Emergency department for immediate care

b. Migrant Health Act clinics

c. OSHA, because the man was injured by farm machinery

, d. Workers' Compensation, because injury was at work - correct answer ✔✔ANS: A

Emergency department for immediate careFarming and ranching do not often fall under OSHA
guidelines, because they are considered small enterprises. Therefore, safety standards are not
enforceable, nor is Workers' Compensation insurance usually available for the agricultural industry.
Although there are migrant health clinics, they are not always geographically convenient. The only
source the nurse can count on using is sending injured workers to emergency departments for
immediate care.DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: pp. 394, 398

cause such symptoms?

a. Appendicitis

b. Bacterial gastroenteritis

c. Pesticide poisoning

d. Viral illness - correct answer ✔✔ANS: C

Pesticide poisoningAlthough all of these conditions can cause some or all of the symptoms listed,

poisoning. Acute health effects of pesticide exposure include mild psychological and behavioral deficits
such as memory loss, difficulty with concentration, and mood changes, abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, headache, malaise, skin rashes, and eye irritation.DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze
