When a client describes their family as having multiple wives, all of whom are sisters, married to one man, the nurse documents the family structure as?

  1. polyandry
  2. soronal
  3. nonsororal
  4. sororate

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The practice of polygamy refers to having multiple wives or husbands.
When there are multiple wives who are sisters, the polygamy is designated as soronal. When the wives are not sisters it is nonsororal.
Polyandry refers to multiple husbands and is rare. Some cultures practice a polygamy designated as sororate. Sororate polygamy specifies that a husband must marry his wife’s sister if she dies. These marriages are successive rather than concurrent.



A mother has come to the pediatric clinic concerned about the recent outbreak of West Nile Virus. The ages of her children are 5, 7, and 10. The mother has asked the nurse what she can do to prevent her children from contracting this illness.

Which piece of information is best to provide the mother with?

  1. The children should wear long sleeves and long pants while outside.
  2. Apply insect repellant containing DEET when the children are outside.
  3. Remove standing water from the property.
  4. All of the above.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

It is recommended that the children wear insect repellant containing DEET and long-sleeve shirts and long pants when they are outside.
Removing standing water from areas around where the children play can help decrease the number of breeding mosquitoes.
These are the only known methods of prevention at this time.



The home health nurse has made a visit to an 85-year-old female client’s home who has recently had surgery to replace her left knee. The client has been discharged from a rehab facility and has been able to walk on her own. The nurse assesses the need for teaching related to fall prevention.

What should the nurse include in this teaching plan?

  1. The client should remove all scatter rugs from the floor and minimize clutter.
  2. The client should not get up and move around the house.
  3. The client does not need to install a raised toilet and grab bar because she is able to walk on her own.
  4. The client should wear a robe and socks while walking in the house.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Rugs and clutter are a primary cause of falls in the home and should be eliminated if possible to decrease the risk of a fall. The elderly and those with gait issues are at an increased risk for a fall at home.
The client should have a raised toilet seat and grab bars available in the bathroom to aid in movement in this potential slippery area of the home. Some clients find it difficult to rise up and down from the toilet and to get in and out of the shower. These items are all important in maintaining safety in the home.
The client should not limit her movement within the home unless ordered by the physician. This decreases the ability of the client to perform activities of daily living and hinders the client’s return to a normal lifestyle after surgery.
The client should not wear baggy clothing such as long robes, and the client should not wear socks on slippery floors. These items can cause the client to trip, slip, or fall.

Which of the following substances need to be assessed when completing a family health assessment?

  1. coffee, tea, cola, and cocoa
  2. alcohol, tobacco, and illegal substances
  3. medicines prescribed by a physician
  4. all of the above

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When assessing drug, alcohol, and tobacco practices among family members, a thorough investigation of prescribed, over-the-counter and illegal substance-use practices should be made.
Assessment of dietary practices should include the amount and types of food the family eats; the social behaviors associated with dietary practices; and the meal planning, shopping, and preparation practices of the family.
