According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which diseases are reportable infectious diseases? Select all that apply.

A) Women, Infant, and Children program:
The Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program provides nutritional assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children. It is not designed for general health insurance needs and is not applicable to a 66-year-old retiring from employment.

B) Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act provisions:
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows employees and their families to continue their health insurance coverage for a limited period after leaving employment. While COBRA can provide temporary coverage, it may not be the most appropriate long-term solution for a retiree who will likely need ongoing health insurance coverage beyond the COBRA continuation period.

C) Medicare:
Medicare is a federal health insurance program specifically designed for individuals aged 65 and older. Since the client is 66 years old and retiring, Medicare is the most appropriate agency to refer to for health insurance needs. Medicare provides comprehensive health coverage for seniors and is suited to their age group.

D) Medicaid:
Medicaid provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families, including some older adults with limited income and resources. However, for a 66-year-old client who is retiring and is likely eligible for Medicare, Medicaid may not be the primary insurance option unless the client has specific low-income needs that qualify them for additional assistance. Medicare is the primary program for seniors.

A) Fasting blood glucose average readings were 20% lower at the end of the classes:
This outcome measure directly evaluates the effectiveness of the diabetes education classes. A significant reduction in fasting blood glucose levels indicates that the classes had a positive impact on the clients' diabetes management, reflecting the practical success of the educational interventions.

B) Discussion of food exchanges and calories was a well-attended class:
While class attendance is a positive indicator of interest, it does not measure the actual effectiveness of the classes in improving diabetes management. Attendance alone does not confirm that the information was effectively applied or that it led to improved health outcomes.

C) Demonstrating the use of a blood glucose meter was an effective teaching strategy:
Although demonstrating the use of a blood glucose meter is an important teaching strategy, evaluating its effectiveness does not provide a comprehensive measure of the overall impact of the classes. The ultimate goal is to see improvements in health outcomes, such as blood glucose control.

D) Parking convenience for attendees continued to be a major concern:
While logistical issues like parking convenience are important for class accessibility, they do not reflect the effectiveness of the educational content in improving health outcomes. The focus should be on measurable changes in clients' health status, such as blood glucose levels.
