Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The nurse should advise to exercise indoors when pollutants are especially high outdoors. Other interventions should include exercising in the early morning and away from busy roads or industrial areas and trying a less intense outdoor activity, such as walking instead of jogging, on high-ozonelevel days will reduce the amount of pollution inhaled. The community health nurse can stress the importance of access to quick relief medication when active outdoors, especially for those beginning an activity program that is more intense than usual.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A nurse can use primary prevention to decrease pollution by promoting routine immunizations to minimize diseases caused by biologic agents. The nurse can use many techniques involving secondary preventions, including monitoring for signs of hazardous environmental conditions, such as blood lead levels; assessing for signs of illness related to environmental hazards in the community; and treating and monitoring disorders caused by environmental conditions.
