The population nurse becomes aware of an increase in social instability in one neighborhood. This instability can affect societal health because it can lead to:
1. Poverty.
2. Social conflict.
3. Developing alternative methods of health care.
4. Ill health that results from disruptive economic conditions.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. While poverty can impact health, it is not a necessary outcome of social instability. Economic conditions can be disrupted as a result of social instability, which can lead to ill health because economic conditions and access to health care services can be affected. Alternative methods to health care are not dependent on social instability and can be developed at any time. Social conflict is not necessarily a result of social instability.
