Question

An industrial community has significant homelessness. The vaccination rate is low, and many people have chronic illnesses such as diabetes and depression. Which issue in this community can most likely be addressed by a health center?
A) illness due to industrial toxins
B) access to public transportation
C) access to jobs at local businesses
D) rates of poverty and homelessness

Answer 1

Answer:

A) illness due to industrial toxins

Explanation:

Health centers are institutions through which primary health care is provided to individuals and families, considering them as elements of a community with their problems, needs and behaviors. Primary care includes preventive, curative actions (diagnosis, treatment and referral to different levels) rehabilitation care (which does not require personnel or specialized material at this level) and health promotion measures.

For this reason, we can say that a community problem, outlined in the question above, that can be resolved by a health center is "illness due to industrial toxins".
