Question 3 of 5
A public health nurse is addressing community leaders at a forum about community improvement. The nurse should identify which of the following groups as being the fastest growing segment of the homeless population?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Families who have children. This group is the fastest growing segment of the homeless population because they often face economic hardships, lack stable housing, and have limited access to support services. Families with children are more vulnerable to becoming homeless due to various factors such as job loss, high housing costs, and lack of affordable childcare. Additionally, homelessness among families with children can have detrimental effects on the well-being and development of the children.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: People with substance use disorders may be a significant portion of the homeless population, but they are not necessarily the fastest growing segment.
C: Adolescent runaways are a vulnerable group, but they do not represent the fastest growing segment of the homeless population.

This information is crucial for assessing the community's living standards, health risks, and potential environmental health issues. Demographic data (choice
A) is important but can be obtained through other methods. Mortality rate (choice
B) is a statistical measure that may not be directly observed during a windshield survey. Informant interviews (choice
