1. When assessing Mr. Lee's eye condition, what general information should the nurse seek?

A. Type of employment.
B. Burning or itchy sensation in the eyes.
C. Position of the eyelids.
D. Existence of floaters.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When assessing a patient's eye condition, the nurse should seek general information such as the type of employment, activities, allergies, medications, lenses, and protective devices used. This information helps in understanding potential exposures to irritants and risks related to activities. While the presence of burning or itchy sensation in the eyes, position of the eyelids, and existence of floaters are important aspects to assess during a focused eye examination, during the initial assessment, the type of employment is more relevant for understanding possible environmental factors affecting eye health.

3. Why is Kleinman's Explanatory Model of Health and Illness significant?

A. it focuses on the health beliefs of a particular family.
B. it highlights the impact of culture on health explanations.
C. it discusses the significant role of popular and folk domains of influence.
D. it is based on an educational approach.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Kleinman's Explanatory Model of Health and Illness is significant because it emphasizes the influence of popular and folk domains on health perceptions. Kleinman distinguishes between disease, representing the biomedical view, and illness, reflecting individual understanding. The model underscores that cultural factors shape the significance of popular and folk influences on health beliefs. Choice A is incorrect as the model focuses on broader cultural influences, not individual family beliefs. Choice B is incorrect as it oversimplifies the model's emphasis on various cultural aspects. Choice D is incorrect as the model's significance lies in its cultural framework rather than an educational base.

4. A sexually active adolescent asks the school nurse about the use of latex condoms and the reduction of the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse provides which information to the adolescent?

A. Using a latex condom is a good method for reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
B. The only way to reduce the risk of transmission of STIs is abstinence.
C. A spermicide needs to be used along with a condom to prevent transmission of STIs.
D. Using a latex condom can reduce the risk of transmission of STIs.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is that using a condom during intercourse can reduce the risk of STI transmission. Abstinence is a way to prevent STIs, but not the only way. Using a spermicide along with a condom can help prevent pregnancy, not STIs. While condoms may fail to prevent pregnancy, they are effective in reducing the risk of STI transmission. Therefore, using a latex condom for pregnancy prevention is not directly related to preventing the transmission of STIs.

5. In conducting a health screening for 12-month-old children, the nurse expects them to have been immunized against which of the following diseases?

A. measles, polio, pertussis, hepatitis B
B. diphtheria, pertussis, polio, tetanus
C. rubella, polio, pertussis, hepatitis A
D. measles, mumps, rubella, polio

Correct answer: B

Rationale: By 12 months of age, children should have received vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and tetanus (DTaP and IPV). The correct answer is B as it includes these vaccines that are typically administered in the first year of life. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination usually begins at 12 months of age but is not expected to be completed by this time. Choices A and C are incorrect as they include diseases that are not part of the routine immunization schedule for a 12-month-old child.
