A family in a poorly ventilated home cooks daily over an indoor biomass stove. Which nursing advice best reduces chronic respiratory disease risk?
Correct answer: B. Improve ventilation and use a cleaner cooking fuel
- A. Keep doors closed to retain warmth
- B. Improve ventilation and use a cleaner cooking fuel
- C. Burn more biomass to shorten cooking time
- D. Use scented smoke to mask the cooking odour
Explanation
Indoor smoke from biomass fuel can damage the airways and worsen chronic respiratory disease. Cleaner fuel, improved ventilation and reducing exposure are protective; masking the smell does not remove harmful particles.

About Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable diseases include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and other long-term conditions linked to genetic, behavioral and environmental factors. The focus is on modifiable risk factors, screening, early detection, lifestyle counselling, treatment adherence, rehabilitation and the levels of prevention, rather than infection control.
