  The population health nurse learns of an area within the community that floods after heavy rains. Flooding has been a problem since development of this region over the last several years. What should the nurse realize as the most accurate explanation for the standing water?
  1. The drainage system has not been inspected regularly.
  2. There are insufficient storm sewers to handle the increased development.
  3. There has been an overall change in the precipitation patterns in the region.
  4. The development has increased the amount of impervious surfaces that do not absorb the rain water.

Question 2

After a series of heavy rains, the nurse in the local health department increases the water monitoring of the local beach because several upstream creeks flow into it. Why did the nurse increase the water monitoring?
 
  1. Monitor the water purity of the creek flow.
  2. Make sure that no debris is swept into the water.
  3. Make sure that tidal currents are safe for swimming.
  4. Monitor the water for potential microorganisms that could prevent safe swimming.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Increased development can result in paving land, which creates impervious surfaces that would otherwise be able to absorb rainwater. This leads to increased standing water after heavy rains. There is no indication that weather patterns have changed, or that the drainage system or storm sewers are involved or are inadequate

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. After heavy rains, water is stirred up, especially when other water sources drain into the water, such as from upstream creeks. This can impair the water quality, making it unsafe for swimming due to a potential increase in microorganisms. Tidal currents do not require water monitoring. Routine monitoring of the creek's water purity is important, but it is more of a priority after heavy rains, which can stir up the bottom when the water level rises. Monitoring water quality has no bearing on whether debris is swept into the water.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors. Health care professionals that use smart infusion pumps must still practice the rights of medication administration and have other professionals double-check all high-risk infusions.
