Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to improve children's health and reduce hospitalization from anemia by educating parents about the importance of women taking an iron supplement during pregnancy, encouraging iron-rich food sources for young children, and educating adolescents about healthy diets. Prevention of unintentional injuries and improving the quality of life for the elderly are not interventions to achieve this National Health Goal.
