ANSWER>> A
Potential risks to health are concerns for professional nurses. It is the
responsibility of the nurse to understand as much as possible about these risks:
how to assess them, how to eliminate/reduce them, how to communicate and
educate about them, and how to advocatefor policies that support healthy
environments. Toxicologists do not often consult nurses about environmental
pollutants. Pollutant exposures are not routinely reported by nurses. Although
there may be problems with air quality standards in the United States, this
wouldnot be the primary reason why nurses should understand environmental
health.
