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

Observing farmworkers for unsafe pesticide handling focuses on secondary prevention, aiming to identify risks before health problems occur rather than addressing existing health conditions.

Choice B rationale

Teaching farmworkers to recognize pesticide poisoning symptoms is a primary prevention strategy, which aims to stop exposure or poisoning before any incidents occur.

Choice C rationale

Treating clients exposed to pesticides addresses immediate health impacts and complications, making it a tertiary prevention strategy that focuses on managing existing conditions effectively.

Choice D rationale

Providing teaching on pesticide handling reduces exposure risks but falls under primary prevention. This strategy is preventive rather than addressing the outcomes of exposure.

Choice A rationale

Families with children are the most rapidly growing group experiencing poverty and homelessness due to economic instability, housing affordability issues, and systemic social challenges affecting vulnerable populations.

Choice B rationale

African-American families face socioeconomic challenges but are not the most rapidly growing demographic in poverty and homelessness compared to families with children.

Choice C rationale

Single men often experience homelessness; however, their population growth does not surpass that of families with children in the context of poverty and homelessness.
