The population health nurse is working in a community health clinic and is planning a program to resolve health problems in male clients. One such example could be a program:
1. That eliminates high-risk behaviors.
2. Related to diabetes prevention.
3. That encourages blood pressure screening.
4. That explains adult immunizations.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Resolving health problems among men involves the earliest possible detection of health needs through effective screening. Resolution of existing problems also encompasses the actual treatment of the health needs or disorders themselves. Population health nurses may participate in health screening activities by providing or encouraging the client's use of such health measures as blood pressure screening. Eliminating high-risk behaviors, preventing diabetes, and immunizations are all focused on health promotion and illness/injury prevention.
