Which of the following population health nursing practices are at the forefront of disease outbreaks and early education?

Choice A reason:

The Ethics Committee is typically responsible for addressing and mediating conflicts related to ethical issues in healthcare settings. They provide guidance on complex moral dilemmas and support the resolution of disputes involving ethical considerations.

Choice B reason:

The Quality Improvement Team focuses on enhancing the quality of care provided to patients by identifying areas for improvement and implementing changes. Their primary role is not conflict mediation.

Choice C reason:

The Health Care Quality Committee also aims to improve patient care quality, but like the Quality Improvement Team, they do not specialize in mediating conflicts between healthcare teams and patients or their families.

Choice D reason:

The Care Coordination Team is responsible for organizing patient care activities and facilitating the appropriate delivery of health care services. While they may deal with conflicts related to care coordination, they are not the designated body for mediating ethical conflicts.

Choice A reason: Teaching materials are not typically considered a direct determinant of health care disparities. They are tools used in education and, while they can influence knowledge and awareness, they do not directly cause disparities in health care.

Choice B reason: Exposure to unhealthy and/or stressful conditions is a known determinant of health care disparities. These conditions can lead to poor health outcomes and are often unequally distributed among different populations, contributing to disparities.

Choice C reason: Health-damaging behavior that is a result of free choice can contribute to health care disparities. Behaviors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise can lead to health issues and are influenced by social, economic, and environmental factors.

Choice D reason: Natural genetic factors are determinants of health care disparities as they can predispose individuals to certain health conditions. However, the impact of genetics is often exacerbated by environmental and social factors.

Choice E reason: Motivation can influence health behaviors and outcomes, but it is not typically categorized as a determinant of health care disparities. Motivation is more of an individual characteristic that can affect how people manage their health.
