Question 5 of 5
Which concept concerning LHIs will the nurse use to develop programs to improve health outcomes in the community?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because LHIs (Local Health Initiatives) aim to improve health and well-being across the lifespan, not just focus on specific age groups like childhood illnesses (A). While LHIs can be part of individual care plans (B), their primary goal is to impact the overall community health. LHIs are not standardized guidelines for disease care (D) but rather community-based programs that address various health needs. By focusing on improving health outcomes for all age groups, the nurse can create effective programs that benefit the entire community.
