A nurse is providing education to a new graduate nurse on the purpose of Healthy People. Which strategy(ies) will best prevent the development of compassion fatigue? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Creating local media campaigns to counter tobacco products is an evidence-based strategy for tobacco prevention among youth. These campaigns can raise awareness about the dangers of smoking, correct misinformation, and promote positive peer norms. Media outreach is especially effective when it includes youth voices and culturally relevant messaging.

Choice B reason: Hosting events that allow tobacco companies to advertise contradicts public health goals. Such exposure normalizes tobacco use and undermines prevention efforts. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to marketing tactics, and this approach would likely increase rather than decrease tobacco use.

Choice C reason: Asking markets to reduce the cost of tobacco products would make them more accessible and affordable, especially to youth. Lower prices are associated with increased consumption, and this strategy would directly oppose efforts to reduce tobacco use.

Choice D reason: Allowing tobacco companies to promote their products in youth community centers is highly inappropriate and dangerous. These centers are meant to support healthy development, and tobacco promotion in such spaces would expose adolescents to harmful influences and increase the risk of initiation.

Choice A reason: Agitation and seizures are hallmark signs of withdrawal from substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, and certain stimulants. Withdrawal can cause central nervous system hyperactivity, leading to tremors, irritability, and seizures. Nurses must recognize these symptoms promptly to initiate appropriate care and prevent complications.

Choice B reason: While overdose may cause seizures, it is more commonly associated with respiratory depression, unconsciousness, or cardiac arrest. Agitation is less typical in overdose scenarios unless stimulant toxicity is involved, making this choice less accurate.

Choice C reason: Chronic pain may lead to irritability or mood changes but does not typically cause seizures. Seizures are neurological events not directly linked to pain syndromes unless secondary to another condition.

Choice D reason: Depression may present with agitation in some cases, but seizures are not a common symptom. This combination is more indicative of a neurological or substance-related issue than a mood disorder.
