Question 1 of 5
The public health nurse is investigating a botulism outbreak. The public health nurse understands that which of the following is the greatest risk factor for development of the disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A recent potluck that served baked beans out of a bent can. This is the greatest risk factor for botulism because Clostridium botulinum spores can grow in low-acid, anaerobic environments like improperly canned foods. The bent can may indicate improper sealing, allowing the spores to grow and produce toxin.
Choice A is incorrect because petting zoos do not typically harbor the bacteria that cause botulism.
Choice B is incorrect as spinach is not a common source of botulism.
Choice D is incorrect as pork products are not typically associated with botulism.
