Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Exposure to crime and violence.

Question 2 of 4
A public health nurse is reviewing data that shows that families living closer to an industrial plant have higher rates of cancer. Which of the following determinants should the nurse consider in this situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Physical environment. In this situation, the nurse should consider the physical environment as it directly relates to the proximity of families to the industrial plant, which may expose them to environmental toxins leading to higher rates of cancer. Epigenetics (choice A) refers to changes in gene expression, sociocultural environment (choice B) focuses on social factors, and biological processes (choice C) relate to internal biological mechanisms. However, the key determinant to focus on in this scenario is the physical environment due to its direct impact on the health outcomes of the families living closer to the industrial plant.
Question 3 of 4

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Biological differences. The nurse should consider biological differences because females may have unique health needs and vulnerabilities compared to males, impacting their health outcomes post-hospitalization. This includes differences in hormones, anatomy, and physiology.

It is important to focus on biological factors to provide tailored care for female clients.
Question 4 of 4
A nurse educating a group of men on the importance of performing testicular self-exams recognizes that which of the following factors influences the likelihood that they will adhere to this recommendation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Gender norms related to masculinity. Men may feel that performing testicular self-exams is not masculine or may associate it with weakness. By addressing and challenging these gender norms, the nurse can help increase adherence to the recommendation.
