Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for allergies and immunologic functioning by advocating for improved air quality in schools, initiating educational programs for children and adolescents that include teaching about the way HIV is transmitted, such as through sexual relations and unclean intravenous needles, and protective measures they can take to avoid contracting the disease, including safer sex practices and not using intravenous drugs. Explaining how certain foods promote immunologic compromise does not support the 2020 National Health Goals for allergies and immunologic functioning.
