A community health nurse suggested that a group of nursing students perform a diabetic screening at a location where groups of people meet. Which of the following sites would be best for the screening?
a. The senior citizens center, which always welcomes students back
b. The shopping mall where many young adults go to save money
c. The YWCA/YMCA down the street
d. The Weight Losers group meeting at the church
ANS: D
Adults who are obese and meeting at a group such as "Weight Losers" probably have not previously been screened for diabetes. If the senior citizen center always welcomes students back, they have clearly had screenings there before. Hence, even though older adults are at risk, it would be better to choose a different group. Young adults and those working out at a YMCA are not particularly at high risk.
