  There is a low unemployment rate in a community that has experienced a large growth in gentrification. Yet, many community residents live in motels and campgrounds because there is a lack of affordable housing for lower-income residents. The population health nurse realizes that these residents could be considered:
  1. To be very close to poverty.
  2. To have problems with substance abuse.
  3. Homeless due to their transitory lodgings.
  4. An easily mobile workforce.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. While these risk factors may not manifest themselves in obvious health problems, these biophysical factors can influence future income and health potential. Development of chronic diseases can impact quality of employment in terms of absence that can result in decreased income, which affects overall earnings potential and can affect ability to have appropriate and effective health care. The ability to obtain health care, to develop social support system networks, and to change dietary habits are not impaired by having risk factors.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Homelessness can include those who lack a fixed, regular residence. Those living in motels and campgrounds are not living in a dwelling with a fixed address. Gentrification develops existing homes in the community, but displaces low-income housing with higher-income housing. This creates a lack of affordable housing for those who earn lower wages, which increases the threat of homelessness among the population, even those who are employed. There is no indication that substance abuse is involved nor does it indicate poverty. Living in motels or campgrounds does not imply a mobile workforce.
