A nurse educator is explaining primary health care (PHC) and the extension of its boundaries beyond traditional health care services to a group of community members. What issues related to PHC should the nurse include in this discussion?
1. Distribution and participation
2. Environment, agriculture, and housing
3. Consumerism and governmental subsidies
4. Low life expectancies and high mortality rates among children
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: PHC involves issues of the environment, agriculture, and housing. It also involves other social, economic, and political issues such as poverty, transportation, unemployment, and economic development to sustain the population. Distribution and participation are two of the five principles incorporated in PHC. Consumerism and governmental subsidies are not part of the PHC makeup. Low life expectancies and high mortality rates among children are two concerns about health care that led to the global health strategy of primary health care.
