Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
A public health nurse would most likely focus on the concept of harm reduction. This concept focuses on injection drug use and seeks to stop the spread of HIV through needle sharing and other risky practices. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been a leader in the definition of harm reduction. The harm reduction model focuses on reducing HIV transmission through a series of public health activities; effective management of HIV/AIDS, chronic pain, substance abuse, and mental health disorders; creating health care service models; ensuring the availability of human resources; developing supportive policy, legal, and social environments; and ensuring availability of an appropriate staffing system.
