ANSWERSA, B, C
Healthy People 2020 identified three areas for public health action. These
areas are improving the conditions of daily life, addressing the inequitable
distribution of resources among people with disabilities and those without,
and expanding the knowledge base and raising awareness about
determinants of health for people with disabilities. One way to achieve the
latter is by expanding disability and health training opportunities for public
health and health care professionals. Treating acute conditions vigorously is
not an area addressed.
You are working with local community agencies to provide services for
children and adolescents with disabilities. Based on your knowledge of the
most common disabilities affecting this group, you would advocate for which
service in order to address the largest group?
a.) Special education services to provide resources to empower these
individuals
b.) Speech therapy services to help children connect with each other
c.) Mental health services to address the mental health needs of these
individuals
d.) Behavioral health services to help these individuals behave during school
- CORRECT-ANSWERSA
In descending order, the most common disabilities found in school-age
children and adolescents are learning disorders; speech or language
impairment; mental retardation; serious emotional disturbances and other
disabilities, such as autism; deaf-blindness; orthopedic problems; traumatic
brain injury; and other health impairments, such as asthma, diabetes, and
epilepsy. Thus, advocating for special education services would address the
most common disability, learning disorders.
Which statements about Healthy People 2020 and reducing substance use
and addressing mental health needs is most accurate?
a.) The nurse must never decide on an intervention that can address the
specific public health issue identified in the diagnosis using the Healthy
People 2020 objectives.
b.) It could be considered a priority as 3 of the top 10 health indicators relate
to substance use and mental health.
