A new public health nurse understands that which of the following factors predisposes many migrant farm workers to disenfranchisement?

Choice A rationale

Tertiary prevention involves strategies aimed at managing and improving outcomes of existing health conditions, such as assessing and supporting survivors of trauma like post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Choice B rationale

Policy development is not a level of prevention; it involves creating frameworks to promote public health interventions rather than focusing on individual care.

Choice C rationale

Primary prevention focuses on preventing the occurrence of disease or trauma through measures like immunizations or lifestyle changes before health issues arise.

Choice D rationale

Secondary prevention entails early detection and intervention for diseases or conditions to prevent progression, such as screening tests.

Choice A rationale

Avoiding legal complications aligns with primary prevention, but the nurse’s focus is reducing health risks associated with drug use, especially blood-borne diseases from shared needles.

Choice B rationale

Tertiary prevention minimizes harm like disease transmission. Providing sterilization education addresses risks from ongoing drug use, emphasizing reduction of complications rather than complete cessation.

Choice C rationale

Secondary prevention detects or prevents complications early. While sterilizing needles helps, the focus here is ongoing harm reduction rather than immediate risk identification or complication prevention.

Choice D rationale

Educating about safe injections promotes harm reduction but does not focus on primary prevention. Tertiary prevention is the appropriate classification for reducing ongoing drug use risks. .
