The nurse should target residents of long-term care facilities, as they are at a higher risk of complications from the flu. Health care providers should also be targeted as they come into contact with sick patients and can potentially spread the flu. Women who will be pregnant during influenza season are also at risk of complications and should be educated about the importance of getting vaccinated. Children with asthma are also a high-risk group for complications from the flu and should be targeted for education. Healthy young males are not considered a high-risk group and may not need to be specifically targeted for education.
