The Public Health Nurse receives a report on the number of adults in the state who were admitted for substance abuse treatment.
Which location would the nurse recommend for education to address this health concern?

Choice A rationale:

Gardening is a recreational activity that also promotes physical health.

Choice B rationale:

Having individual rooms with desks and laptops can facilitate learning, but it doesn’t hinder recreation.

Choice C rationale:

A calendar marking health promotion appointments indicates a focus on health, not a lack of recreation.

Choice D rationale:

If both parents work different shifts, including weekends, it might limit family recreational activities.

Choice A rationale:

This statement is incorrect. SDOH include social and economic factors, not psychological factors.

Choice B rationale:

This statement is incorrect. Identifying SDOH helps to address disparities in health care, not increase them.

Choice C rationale:

This statement is correct. SDOH are conditions in the environments where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide range of health and quality-of life-outcomes and risks.

Choice D rationale:

This statement is incorrect. SDOH are not determined by an individual’s ethnic background, but rather by a wide range of factors including socioeconomic status, education, physical environment, employment, and social support networks.
