An occupational health nurse in a factory is planning interventions to reduce environmental stressors for employees. Which of the following interventions should the nurse use to affect physical agents in the environment? (Select all that apply.)

A. "Children are more resilient to the effects of poverty than adults": Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of poverty due to inadequate nutrition, limited access to healthcare, and increased exposure to adverse childhood experiences, which can have long-term physical and mental health consequences.

B. "Minority groups living in poverty experience lower rates of chronic disease": Minority populations in poverty often experience higher rates of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease due to disparities in healthcare access, increased stress, and socioeconomic barriers to preventive care.

C. "Older adults are less likely to experience poverty due to receiving Social Security benefits": While Social Security provides financial assistance, many older adults still live in poverty due to high medical costs, inadequate retirement savings, and the rising cost of living, leading to food insecurity and difficulty affording medications.

D. "Adolescents living in poverty are more likely to be diagnosed with a conduct disorder": Poverty is associated with increased exposure to environmental stressors, family instability, and limited access to mental health resources, which can contribute to higher rates of behavioral disorders, including conduct disorder, in adolescents.

A. Suggest that family members discuss the importance of the surgery with the client: While family support can be valuable, the decision ultimately lies with the client. It is essential for the client to feel empowered in their choices without feeling pressured by family members.

B. Notify the surgeon that the client wishes to withdraw informed consent for the procedure: The most appropriate action is to inform the surgeon of the client's decision to withdraw consent. It is the client's right to change their mind about the procedure at any time before it occurs, and the healthcare team must respect and facilitate that decision.

C. Document the risks of refusing the procedure in the client's medical record: While documenting the client's decision is important, focusing solely on the risks of refusal may not be appropriate at this time. The primary concern should be to ensure that the client's wishes are communicated to the healthcare provider.

D. Discuss the benefits of the procedure with the client: Emphasizing the benefits of the procedure may unintentionally pressure the client. It is more important to respect the client's autonomy and decision-making, ensuring they are comfortable with their choice without feeling coerced into changing their mind.
