The community health nurse in a low-income country is working to decrease the incidence of diarrheal illnesses. Which intervention would most likely best address this problem?
A) Providing fuel alternatives to burning wood and dung
B) Providing sanitized drinking water
C) Education regarding contraception use
D) Distribution of and education on the daily use of insecticide-treated bed nets
Ans: B
Feedback:
Unclean water remains a major problem in reducing diarrheal illness and waterborne and water-related illnesses and their health consequences. Educating families on the daily use of insecticide-treated bed nets would address malaria, as malaria is spread predominantly by mosquitoes, but there is no indication that malaria is the culprit here. Diarrheal illnesses are not directly related to burning wood or dung or to sexual intercourse.
