A nurse is assisting with admitting a client who reports they are currently unemployed.
Which of the following factors of the social determinants of health (SDOH) is challenging for the client?

Choice A rationale:

Neighborhood environment refers to the physical and social characteristics of the areas in which people live. However, this is not directly related to the client’s unemployment.

Choice B rationale:

Education refers to the opportunities for learning available to people. While it can affect employment, the client’s current challenge is not having a job.

Choice C rationale:

Economic stability refers to an individual’s financial situation. The client is unemployed, which directly affects their economic stability, making this the correct choice.

Choice D rationale:

Social and community context refers to the relationships and social connections individuals have. While important, it is not the primary challenge for this client.

Choice A rationale:

An endemic disease is one that affects only a particular country or region. It’s present in a specific region but not globally.

Choice B rationale:

A disease affecting a large number of people in a community is usually referred to as an epidemic, not an endemic.

Choice C rationale:

An illness that spreads over several countries is typically referred to as a pandemic, not an endemic.

Choice D rationale:

An illness that spreads over several continents is also typically referred to as a pandemic, not an endemic.
