Answering parents' questions about the safety and importance of vaccines today: While educating parents is essential, it relies on voluntary compliance and does not have the same large-scale impact as mandatory immunization laws.

Offering all immunizations to all children for a small fee: Improving vaccine access is important but does not guarantee that parents will vaccinate their children.

Educational campaigns to all health care providers about the importance of immunizations whenever a child is seen: While provider education is valuable, it does not enforce vaccinations on a broad population level like school-entry laws do.

Study the beliefs and traditions of persons living in other cultures: While learning about other cultures is important, it should follow self-reflection to prevent ethnocentric judgments.

Complete a survey of all the various ethnicities represented in the nurse's community: This provides demographic knowledge but does not help the nurse develop personal cultural competence.

Invite a family from another culture to join the nurse for an event: While engaging with diverse groups is beneficial, it is not the first step in cultural competence.

Imposition: Cultural imposition refers to forcing one’s own beliefs on another person, which is not the case here.

Brokering: Cultural brokering involves mediating between the patient and the healthcare system, which is not applicable in this scenario.

Awareness: Awareness means recognizing cultural differences but does not involve taking action, as demonstrated in this case.

Number of true negatives / (true negatives + false positives): This formula is used to calculate specificity, not incidence.

Number of true positives / (true positives + false negatives): This formula is used to calculate sensitivity, not incidence.

Number of new cases + number of old cases in a period of time / total population × base multiple of 10: This describes prevalence, which includes both new and existing cases, not incidence.

The incidence of asthma among children has been decreasing: The incidence of childhood asthma has been increasing due to rising air pollution, allergens, and environmental triggers.

Children are more susceptible to cancer if they have a family history of the disease: While family history plays a role, environmental exposures (e.g., radiation, chemicals) also contribute significantly to childhood cancer risk.

The prevalence of autism is directly related to the increase in environmental toxins: While research is ongoing, no definitive causal link has been established between environmental toxins and autism. Autism is influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a bloodborne disease, primarily spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, not through a vector.

E. coli O157:H7: E. coli is a foodborne illness that spreads through contaminated food or water, not via a vector.

Anthrax: Anthrax is a bacterial infection that spreads through direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of spores, not through a vector.

Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a bloodborne disease, primarily spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, not through a vector.

E. coli O157:H7: E. coli is a foodborne illness that spreads through contaminated food or water, not via a vector.

Anthrax: Anthrax is a bacterial infection that spreads through direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of spores, not through a vector.

Tertiary prevention: Tertiary prevention focuses on minimizing complications of an already existing disease. This intervention is aimed at prevention, not complication management.

Secondary prevention: Secondary prevention involves early detection and screening (e.g., bone density scans), not dietary interventions.

Treatment, but not prevention: Advising on calcium intake is a preventive strategy, not a form of treatment for an existing condition.
