In a settlement, many children are underweight and household food supplies are unreliable because parents have insecure employment. Which determinant should the nurse recognise as most relevant?
Correct answer: A. Economic and social conditions
- A. Economic and social conditions
- B. Inherited blood group
- C. Seasonal variation in daylight
- D. Individual pulse pressure
Explanation
Employment and household income influence food security and are social determinants of health. Blood group, daylight and pulse pressure do not explain the community-wide difficulty in obtaining adequate food.
