The public health nurse is working with a homeless client.
Which of the following statements made by the homeless client indicates an understanding of tertiary prevention?

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.

Choice A rationale

Referring to a supervisor doesn’t fulfill the nurse’s legal obligation to clarify mandatory reporting requirements. It may also escalate parental frustration due to perceived evasion.

Choice B rationale

Delegating responsibility to a supervisor undermines the nurse’s accountability in adhering to legal reporting protocols. This response is insufficient to address parental concerns effectively.

Choice C rationale

Mandatory reporting laws require healthcare professionals to report suspected abuse, regardless of evidence certainty. Nurses must communicate this obligation clearly to justify their actions.

Choice D rationale

While involving the provider may aid communication, it doesn’t address the nurse’s personal accountability in fulfilling legal reporting duties or informing the parent. .
