The Community Health Nurse is reviewing the social determinants of health.
Which action would the nurse take to address neighborhoods and built environments?

Choice A rationale:

Documenting religion as “honed” on the self-assessment form does not necessarily indicate that the patient’s religious beliefs support health promotion activities.

Choice B rationale:

Abstaining from alcohol and tobacco is a health promotion activity as it reduces the risk of various health conditions such as liver disease and lung cancer.

Choice C rationale:

Providing care for children and aging parents indicates family commitment but does not necessarily relate to health promotion activities.

Choice D rationale:

Teaching Bible study classes on Wednesday shows religious involvement but does not directly indicate support for health promotion activities.

Choice A rationale:

Immunization is a primary prevention strategy aimed at preventing disease before it occurs.

Choice B rationale:

Mammograms are secondary prevention strategies, as they are used to detect early stages of disease.

Choice C rationale:

Physical therapy treatment is a tertiary prevention strategy, as it is used to rehabilitate patients and prevent further complications.

Choice D rationale:

Adjusting blood pressure medication is also a tertiary prevention strategy, as it is used to manage existing conditions and prevent complications.
