A nurse is completing an assessment of a recently widowed older adult client. They state that they are unable to drive and are afraid to cook on the stove. Which of the following community resources should the nurse recommend?

A. "Children are more resilient to the effects of poverty than adults": Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of poverty due to inadequate nutrition, limited access to healthcare, and increased exposure to adverse childhood experiences, which can have long-term physical and mental health consequences.

B. "Minority groups living in poverty experience lower rates of chronic disease": Minority populations in poverty often experience higher rates of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease due to disparities in healthcare access, increased stress, and socioeconomic barriers to preventive care.

C. "Older adults are less likely to experience poverty due to receiving Social Security benefits": While Social Security provides financial assistance, many older adults still live in poverty due to high medical costs, inadequate retirement savings, and the rising cost of living, leading to food insecurity and difficulty affording medications.

D. "Adolescents living in poverty are more likely to be diagnosed with a conduct disorder": Poverty is associated with increased exposure to environmental stressors, family instability, and limited access to mental health resources, which can contribute to higher rates of behavioral disorders, including conduct disorder, in adolescents.

A. Have adolescents lead peer discussions in schools about safe sexual practices: While this intervention promotes education and awareness, it primarily addresses social and educational factors rather than financial ones. It focuses on behavior change among peers rather than directly impacting financial barriers to healthcare access.

B. Distribute condoms through remote community clinics: This intervention directly addresses financial factors affecting community health by ensuring access to condoms, which may otherwise be a financial burden for some individuals. Providing free condoms helps reduce the economic barriers to safe sex practices and promotes better sexual health in the community.

C. Create commercial advertisements describing the long-term effects of HIV: While advertisements can raise awareness about HIV and its consequences, this intervention focuses on informational and awareness aspects rather than directly addressing financial barriers to health services or prevention resources.

D. Include information about perinatal HIV transmission at prenatal education classes: This intervention enhances education regarding HIV transmission but primarily addresses health education rather than financial factors. While it is crucial for preventing transmission, it does not focus on overcoming financial barriers that may limit access to necessary resources or care.
