A nurse is utilizing the Harm Reduction Model to help with educating a community where substance use is becoming an increasing problem.
According to the harm reduction model, which of the following statements by the nurse is true?

Choice A rationale

Experiences of physical abuse may contribute to psychological distress, but they are not a direct cause of disenfranchisement unless they disrupt societal integration significantly.

Choice B rationale

Disenfranchisement often stems from feeling disconnected from society. Lack of belonging and societal exclusion are critical factors affecting migrant farmworkers' ability to engage fully.

Choice C rationale

Inability to attend religious services can affect social support, yet it does not capture the broader societal disconnection characteristic of disenfranchisement.

Choice D rationale

Being a minority group member increases vulnerability to discrimination but does not inherently result in disenfranchisement unless accompanied by societal isolation or exclusion.

Choice A rationale

Reassuring teenagers they will not be forced to participate establishes safety but does not actively encourage engagement in the group discussion, which is crucial for sharing and mutual support.

Choice B rationale

Encouraging comfort before sharing personal problems respects boundaries, but it does not fully address the group’s purpose to create a supportive environment for individuals facing similar challenges.

Choice C rationale

Highlighting a safe space for sharing problems emphasizes the group’s supportive intent, helping the teenager feel understood and potentially encouraging participation in mutual problem-solving.

Choice D rationale

Validating feelings acknowledges emotional concerns but may not fully explain the group’s purpose, missing an opportunity to motivate the teenager to engage with peers. .
