A patient is admitted with a respiratory illness. During the assessment, the nurse learns the patient is a factory worker and uses public transportation to get to work. Which will be impacted by the patient's socioeconomic status?
1. lifestyle
2. cognitive abilities
3. education level
4. developmental level
Correct Answer: 1
Lifestyle and environmental influences are affected by one's income level. Cognitive development affects whether people view themselves as healthy or ill and may affect their health practices. Educational level affects the ability to understand and follow guidelines for health. Developmental level is not related to socioeconomic status.
