Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Upstream factors to consider for clients who have children that need food assistance is to focus on institutional power such as laws or regulations, government and nongovernment agencies, and the health care system. Food pantries are nongovernmental agencies that would be a factor the public health nurse would consider. Employment opportunities and immigration status are related to midstream effects related to economic/work environment. Life expectancy is a downstream effect that focuses on mortality.
