A community health nurse is teaching a group of recent graduates about the large variety of factors that influence an individual's health or lack thereof. The nurse is referring to the Healthy People 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services as a teaching example. Of the following aspects discussed, whichwould be considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this report? A) The client has a diverse background by being of Asian and Native Americandescent and practices various alternative therapies to minimize effects of stress. B) The client has a family history of cardiovascular disease related to hypercholesterolemia and remains noncompliant with the treatment regime. C) The client has a good career with exceptional preventative health care benefits. D) The client lives in an affluent, clean, suburban community with access to manyhealth care facilities. Ans: B Feedback: In Healthy People 2020, the focus is to promote good health to all (such as usingalternative therapies to minimize effects of stress); achieving health equity and promoting health for all (which includes having good health care benefits); and promoting good health (which includes living in a clean community with good access tohealth care).
