A nurse would like to increase the accessibility to health care services for mentally ill homeless clients in the community.
Which of the following actions should be taken by the nurse?

Apply for a grant to fund a mobile clinic to take health care to the clients as a one-stop shop.

Refer homeless clients to areas that provide temporary housing.

Distribute flyers to the homeless that detail the location of various types of health care services.

Solicit donations for food and clothing to be distributed to the homeless.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice A rationale

Mobile clinics improve access to health care by bringing services directly to underserved populations, reducing barriers such as distance and stigma while providing comprehensive care at a single convenient location.

Choice B rationale

Referring homeless clients to temporary housing addresses immediate shelter needs but does not inherently increase access to specialized health care services for mentally ill individuals in the community.

Choice C rationale

Distributing flyers provides information but is unlikely to effectively address systemic access barriers for homeless clients, such as transportation or trust issues when seeking health care services.

Choice D rationale

Soliciting donations for food and clothing supports basic needs but does not directly increase access to the specialized health care required by mentally ill homeless individuals.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Counseling for the boyfriend does not address the immediate safety risks to the child, who may remain vulnerable to further harm in the current environment.

Choice B rationale

While alternate housing might protect the child, it delays mandatory reporting, which is a legal obligation for healthcare providers in suspected abuse cases to ensure child welfare.

Choice C rationale

Reporting to child protective services is legally required and ensures the safety of the child while allowing investigation into the abuse for appropriate intervention and support.

Choice D rationale

Maintaining confidentiality is not applicable in cases of suspected child abuse, as healthcare providers are mandated reporters and must prioritize the child's safety over privacy.

A. "I have no friends, but that's okay because I prefer to hang out with my cousins.”. B. "I will probably end up in jail just like my father.”. C. "Everyone in school thinks that I am a troublemaker.”. D. "Despite the challenges I have faced, I will go to college and become a teacher.”.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Preferring cousins suggests social preference rather than an internal locus. Internal locus involves belief in control over one's outcomes and challenges, which this statement does not demonstrate scientifically.

Choice B rationale

Blaming one's future outcomes on familial patterns suggests external locus control, attributing life circumstances to external influences, not personal choices or actions, contrary to scientific views on internal locus.

Choice C rationale

Thinking everyone views the adolescent negatively reflects external locus control, where opinions or perceptions of others strongly dictate self-perception, not self-determination, indicating limited personal scientific control.

Choice D rationale

This statement reflects scientific characteristics of internal locus control. Believing in achieving one's goals despite challenges shows the adolescent feels empowered to shape their future through personal efforts and resilience.
