After reviewing the population demographics for an urban community, the community health nurse determines that community members would benefit from teaching on types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in children
Which information caused the nurse to come to this conclusion?
Select all that apply.
A) 60% of community families have both parents diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
B) 35% of school-age children do not routinely receive the annual flu vaccination.
C) 50% of children between the ages of 10 and 19 are African-American.
D) 25% of children between the ages of 10 and 19 are Hispanic.
E) 75% of school-age children are raised in families where both parents are unemployed.
Answer: A, C, D
The risk factors for diabetes include race, ethnicity, and family history. Type 2 diabetes mellitus rates are greater among youth ages 10-19 with higher rates among U.S. minority populations than in non-Hispanic Whites. Frequency of obtaining the annual flu vaccination and socioeconomic status are not risk factors for the development of type 1 or 2 diabetes in children.
