During a community health session, participants begin arguing about the usefulness of vaccination. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct answer: C. Acknowledge the concern and guide the group to discuss reliable evidence.

  • A. End the session immediately to avoid disagreement.
  • B. Ignore the argument and continue reading the prepared material.
  • C. Acknowledge the concern and guide the group to discuss reliable evidence.
  • D. Ask the most senior participant to decide the correct view.

Explanation

Acknowledging concerns and guiding respectful discussion keeps communication open while correcting misinformation with reliable evidence. Ending the session, ignoring participants or giving authority to one person does not address the barrier to learning.
