A nurse is providing education to the family of a school-age child who has pertussis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

The correct answer is Choice C because, "Refer clients to the appropriate community agency if signs of abuse are evident." This is the correct answer because it is an appropriate secondary prevention strategy related to violence and abuse. By referring clients to the appropriate community agency, the nurse is providing a proactive measure to prevent further harm and ensure that the client receives appropriate care.

Choice Ais wrong because, "Teach a parenting skills class at a child development center," is not the correct answer because it is a primary prevention strategy and not related to violence and abuse.

Choice Bis wrong because, "Assess clients for withdrawal and passivity during home health visits," is not the correct answer because it is a secondary prevention strategy related to depression, not violence and abuse.

Choice Dis wrong because, "Coordinate a personal defense program at a local agency," is not the correct answer because it is a tertiary prevention strategy and not related to violence and abuse.

The correct answer is Choice C because, "Clients will schedule bone density screenings." Postmenopausal women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis, and bone density screenings can help identify early signs of the disease, enabling early intervention to prevent complications.

Choice A is wrong because, "Clients will start hormone replacement therapy," is not the correct answer because hormone replacement therapy is not appropriate for all women and can have

negative side effects. It is not an appropriate outcome for an educational program.

Choice B is wrong because, "Clients will significantly decrease caloric intake," is not the correct answer because this outcome is not relevant to postmenopausal women specifically. Additionally, significant caloric restriction can lead to malnutrition and other negative health outcomes.

Choice D is wrong because, "Clients will arrange for mammograms every 3 years," is not the correct answer because while mammograms are an important screening tool for breast cancer, they are not specific to postmenopausal women and should be recommended to all women starting at age 40. Bone density screenings are a more appropriate outcome for a program specifically targeting postmenopausal women.
