Which of the following causes health disparities?

Choice A reason:

Diabetes in a genetically predisposed group is not entirely avoidable due to the genetic risk factors involved. Therefore, labeling it as 'avoidable' is not accurate. Additionally, health disparities are generally considered unacceptable, as they represent inequalities that need to be addressed.

Choice B reason:

While lifestyle changes can help manage diabetes, the genetic predisposition cannot be avoided, making this choice inaccurate. Moreover, health disparities, especially those based on genetics, are not acceptable as they often lead to unequal health outcomes.

Choice C reason:

Genetic predisposition to diabetes is an unavoidable factor; individuals cannot change their genetic makeup. Such health disparities are considered unacceptable because they can lead to inequitable health outcomes and access to care.

Choice D reason:

This choice is incorrect because, although genetic predisposition is unavoidable, the resulting health disparity is not acceptable. Efforts should be made to provide equitable care and support to those with genetic risks for diabetes.

Choice A reason: The term "straightforward" implies a process that is simple and uncomplicated, which does not accurately describe the nursing process. Nursing requires continuous assessment and adjustment, which is more complex than a straightforward approach.

Choice B reason: "Linear" suggests a process that follows a straight line or sequence of steps without deviation. However, the nursing process is not strictly linear as it often requires revisiting previous steps based on ongoing evaluation.

Choice C reason: The nursing process is circular because it is a dynamic and continuous cycle of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Nurses must constantly re-evaluate and adjust interventions as needed, making the process iterative rather than linear.

Choice D reason: While the nursing process is gradual in the sense that it takes place over time and involves progression, "gradual" does not capture the iterative and cyclical nature of the process.
