After reviewing the objectives of Healthy People 2020, the PHN determines the focus for the programming for communicable diseases in the community. Which of the following would the nurse most likely select as the focus?
a. Encouraging community members to en-gage in healthy behaviors
b. Identifying high-risk sexual behaviors among community members
c. Monitoring the sexual activity of adoles-cents
d. Providing information about the hazards of multiple sexual partners
ANS: D
Healthy People 2020 lists communicable disease as an area of focus, including levels of HIV, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and sexually transmitted infections. One method to reduce the risk of acquiring a communicable disease is by the PHN providing information on the hazards of multiple sexual partners and street drug use. Encouraging community members to engage in healthy behaviors does not specifically address communicable diseases. Identifying behaviors and monitoring sexual activity are not appropriate focuses for programming.
