A nurse manager at a public health clinic is concerned about the rising number of sexually transmitted infections in the community. The purpose of which of the following is to generate new ideas to address the public health concern?

A.

A. Hospice care improves quality of life through palliative care - This is a central aspect of hospice care, focusing on pain and symptom management to enhance the patient's comfort and quality of life.

B. Hospice care provides 24-hr, in-home care - While hospice care may provide support, it typically does not offer around-the-clock care in the home.

C. Hospice care is intended to postpone death - Hospice care aims to provide comfort and support in the final stages of life, not to postpone death.

D. Hospice care encourages the family to coordinate health care services - While family

involvement is important, hospice care typically involves a coordinated interdisciplinary team rather than relying solely on family for coordination.

A. Dependent edema may be present in pericarditis but is not typically the priority finding unless it indicates worsening heart failure.

B. Pericardial friction rub is a classic finding in pericarditis but is not the priority unless it indicates cardiac tamponade, which is a medical emergency.

C. Paradoxical pulse may occur in pericarditis but is not necessarily the priority finding unless it is severe and indicative of cardiac tamponade.

D. Substernal chest pain is the priority finding in pericarditis as it indicates inflammation of the pericardium, which can lead to complications such as myocardial infarction or cardiac

tamponade. Prompt intervention is necessary to alleviate pain and prevent complications.
