Safety is also a core value of nursing practice, but it is not explicitly stated in the NSNA code of ethics.

Choice A reason: Identifying viruses across the world is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a function or a goal of the framework, but a task of other organizations, such as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Choice B reason: Monitoring nonmodifiable risk factors is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a focus or a priority of the framework, but a part of the assessment and evaluation of the health status and needs of the population. The framework emphasizes the social determinants of health, which are modifiable factors that affect the health and wellbeing of people and communities.
Choice C reason: Utilizing health data from the past 20 years is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a characteristic or a feature of the framework, but a method of developing and updating the framework. The framework is based on the best available evidence and data from various sources, including the previous iterations of the Healthy People initiative.
Choice D reason: Establishing health objectives for Americans is an information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is the main purpose and function of the framework, which sets data driven national objectives to improve the health and wellbeing of all people over the next decade. The framework also provides evidence-based resources, strategies, and interventions to help achieve the objectives.
