A community nurse finds that several families cannot follow dietary advice because healthy foods are unaffordable. Which action best addresses the underlying issue?
Correct answer: B. Link families with social support and affordable local food resources
- A. Repeat the same diet instructions more firmly
- B. Link families with social support and affordable local food resources
- C. Advise families to avoid eating until better food is available
- D. Refer every family directly to a tertiary hospital
Explanation
Connecting families with available social and food resources addresses the economic determinant that limits healthy choices. Repeating advice without reducing the barrier is unlikely to change behaviour or health.
