Clinical Nurse Specialist CNS Adult Practice Test

Category - AACN Clinical Nurse Specialist Practice Test

A nurse is planning a health teaching program for accident prevention in the community. The main targets of the program are mothers with young children. What is considered as an undesirable outcome after the health teaching?
  1. The mother of a two-year-old child removes the doors and covers of unused appliances.
  2. A new mother choosing a crib that is lead-free with slats measuring three inches apart.
  3. The mother of a nine-month-old child covers the electrical outlets.
  4. The mothers in the community set aside “play areas” away from the streets and railroad tracks.
Explanation
Answer: B - Desired outcomes of the health teaching program should include the ability to identify safety hazards at home and in the community. Safety practices should be applied to the appropriate age group. Parents of newborns and infants should buy cribs that are lead-free and have slats which measure no more 2 3/8 inches apart. The newborn’s head might slip in between the slats if the slats are not close enough together. A nine-month-old can crawl and stick his or her fingers in electrical outlets. Preschool and school aged-children should be taught about the dangers of playing in the street or near the railroad tracks.
