Practice Question
A nurse is assessing the effects of social determinants of health for community members. Which of the following should the nurse identify as a health disparity for a community member?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Absence of efficient public transportation
Rationale:
💎The absence of efficient public transportation is a major social determinant of health that limits access to healthcare, employment, and education.
💎It creates a health disparity because individuals without reliable transport may miss appointments or delay treatment.
💎This leads to unequal access to preventive and acute healthcare services within the community.
💎Addressing transportation barriers improves equity and healthcare accessibility.
💎Public health initiatives often focus on removing such systemic barriers to enhance overall well-being.
