The nurse understands that when working with a client, the following need to be assessed and are leading social determinants of health as per the World Health Organization?

Choice A rationale

It is scientifically incorrect to suggest that infants exposed to tobacco smoke will develop tolerance. Tobacco smoke contains harmful chemicals such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, which can damage developing lungs and increase the risk of respiratory illnesses and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Tolerance does not mitigate these risks.

Choice B rationale

Chewing tobacco still contains nicotine and carcinogens. Although it reduces exposure to sidestream smoke, it still poses risks for nicotine addiction and poisoning, particularly through secondhand exposure and accidental ingestion by children. This recommendation is not supported by scientific evidence.

Choice C rationale

Fetal nicotine syndrome, also known as neonatal nicotine withdrawal, can result from prenatal tobacco exposure. However, this syndrome primarily affects babies exposed to nicotine in utero. Postnatal exposure to tobacco smoke is linked to other complications such as respiratory infections and SIDS, which are immediate concerns.

Choice D rationale

Sidestream smoke, emitted from the burning end of a cigarette, contains higher concentrations of carcinogens and toxins compared to mainstream smoke inhaled by the smoker. Infants exposed to secondhand smoke are at greater risk for respiratory conditions, SIDS, and developmental issues due to these higher concentrations.

Choice A rationale

Feedback at the beginning only assesses baseline knowledge and expectations, missing ongoing input critical for tailoring educational efforts effectively. It does not address comprehension or engagement during or after the program.

Choice B rationale

Feedback at the midpoint provides a partial assessment but misses the opportunity for real-time adjustments or comprehensive understanding of participant needs and program effectiveness.

Choice C rationale

Gathering feedback throughout ensures a dynamic and responsive educational process, addressing participant comprehension and needs in real-time for optimal engagement and effectiveness.

Choice D rationale

Immediate post-program feedback captures participant reactions but fails to inform adjustments during the session, potentially limiting the program's impact on learner understanding.
