A nurse is conducting a health education session for a community with a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Which intervention would best address the health risks associated with this population?
Organize regular health screenings for diabetes and heart disease.
Encourage strict adherence to prescribed medications for those with chronic conditions.
Promote healthy lifestyle changes emphasizing diet and exercise to reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Teach generalized stress management techniques to the community.
The correct answer focuses on tailoring education to the specific health risks prevalent in the community, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. By incorporating strategies like promoting healthy diet changes and regular exercise, the intervention directly targets modifiable risk factors. The incorrect answers represent interventions that, while potentially beneficial, do not specifically address the modifiable health risks highlighted in the scenario. Encouraging medication adherence assumes individuals are already diagnosed and on medication, which excludes a significant portion of the population that may not yet be diagnosed. Providing general stress management techniques does not adequately address the physiological contributors to the conditions in this population. Finally, organizing screenings alone does not directly educate the population about actionable changes to reduce their risks.
