  The population health nurse notices that the population in the homeless shelters has increased, with a noticeable rise of pregnant women. The nurse coordinates with the shelter to provide meals that are more nutritionally adequate than the usual bologna sandwich, chips, and soda that is provided. This is considered:
  1. Preventing illness and injury.
  2. Preventing poverty and homelessness.
  3. Resolving existing problems.
  4. Health promotion.

Question 2

The major emphasis in prevention that relates to the health of the poor and homeless in a community is to:
 
  1. Have appropriate support services in place to address the health needs of these aggregates.
  2. Ensure health services in the schools to keep children healthy.

  4. Ensure sufficient employment opportunities are available for all adults.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. When resolving existing health problems special attention needs to be given to meeting the nutritional needs of vulnerable groups such as pregnant women. Prevention of homelessness can occur at the individual or family level or at community levels. Population health nurses can help prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless by assisting them to eliminate factors that may contribute to homelessness. Illness and injury prevention strategies may also be undertaken with respect to specific health problems experienced by poor and homeless persons. Health promotion directs efforts toward ensuring the overall health of the women during their pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. In order to prevent health problems from arising due to homelessness or poverty, the primary prevention emphasis is to eliminate or prevent them. Having appropriate support services in place to address health needs is a primary approach, but it does not address the underlying cause. Ensuring appropriate school health services will keep students healthy, but it is not the major emphasis in addressing the roots of homelessness and poverty. Employment alone is insufficient if adults are working in low-paying jobs and cannot afford housing.
