The population health nurse is aware that many members of the community, though they are employed, need to obtain additional foodstuffs every month from the local community food bank. The nurse knows that this indicates that:
1. There are insufficient employment opportunities in the community.
2. Poverty is increasing in the community.
3. Better information about food economy should be disseminated in the community.
4. The local grocery stores do not carry sufficient supplies.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Poverty can be defined in terms of the amount of income spent on essential goods and services, such as food. If employed community residents are not able to obtain sufficient food from their paychecks and need to utilize local food bank supplies, this is an indication that there is poverty in the community. There is no indication that there are not sufficient employment opportunities in the community, nor does it indicate that better information about food economy would stretch the food bought from the income. There is no indication that local grocery stores have insufficient supplies.
