Final answer:
The nurse should focus on providing environmental health information, tuberculosis screening, skin cancer prevention information, pesticide safety education, and resources for mental health support to cater specifically to the needs of migrant farm workers.
Step-by-step explanation:
In planning education for a young adult who is a migrant farm worker, a nurse should consider various health-related actions that are tailored to the specific needs and risks associated with this population. Among the recommended actions, the following are particularly relevant:
- Provide environmental health information: Educate about the risks and prevention of health issues related to environmental factors such as water quality and sanitation.
- Refer the client for a tuberculosis screening: Due to the close living conditions often found in migrant worker communities, tuberculosis can be a concern, and screening can be an important preventive measure.
- Provide skin cancer information: Given the outdoor nature of farm work, providing information on the risks of skin cancer and preventive measures such as the use of sunscreen and protective clothing is essential.
- Offer information on pesticide safety: Workers are likely to encounter pesticides, so education on safe handling and exposure prevention is critical.
- Provide resources for mental health support: Address mental health challenges such as stress, depression, and isolation that are a part of the migrant farm worker’s life, and provide access to support resources.
These actions are in line with identifying and defining critical health problems (health education) and designing sustainable health intervention strategies (disease prevention). They are all aimed at improving health outcomes and adapting interventions to be culturally specific, respecting the diversity within the community.
