2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
All of the following factors, when identified in the history of a family, are correlated with poverty except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: High infant mortality rates (A), frequent use of Emergency Departments (B), and consultation with folk healers (C) are all indicators often associated with poverty. These factors reflect limited access to healthcare, inadequate health education, and reliance on alternative medicine due to financial constraints. In contrast, a low incidence of dental problems (D) suggests better oral health and access to dental care, which is typically not linked to poverty. Thus, while the first three options highlight challenges faced by impoverished families, the last option indicates a more favorable health status.
