The population health nurse at an elementary school in the community has developed an integrated program of health promotion and health surveillance, which has resulted in much lower rates of student absence than other similar schools in the community
What is the best conclusion to draw from this?
1. Students are living in a healthier neighborhood in this school district.
2. This student body has more effectively learned about healthy lifestyles.
3. Lower absenteeism may result in a better academic achievement.
4. Good parental involvement has contributed to this success of this program.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. A school health program that reduces school absenteeism could lead to better academic outcomes because the students are in the classroom more. While the students will probably learn healthy lifestyles, it does not necessarily result in better academic outcomes. There is no indication that the student body lives in an area that has a better health profile. There is also no indication of parental involvement in this program.
