A public health nurse is focusing on increasing lead screenings among toddlers. Which client system and focus of care is this intervention addressing?

Aggregate level health promotion
Aggregate level illness prevention
Family level illness care
Individual level health promotion

The correct answer is: Aggregate level health promotion

Increasing lead screenings among toddlers addresses the aggregate level health promotion because it targets a specific group within the population, which in this case are toddlers. This intervention recognizes the public health goal of enhancing the overall health of a community by promoting preventive measures, such as screenings, that can lead to early identification and management of health risks associated with lead exposure. By focusing on a broader population segment rather than an individual or family, the public health nurse is working to educate and mobilize resources to reduce lead exposure collectively. This approach aligns with public health principles that prioritize health promotion strategies aimed at populations to improve health outcomes on a larger scale.
