Public health nurses from an academic wellness NMHC and undergraduate student nurses are conducting blood pressure and glucose screenings at a church sponsored health fair. This event is conducted on Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm, before, during, and after church services. Approximately 50% of adults screened have hypertension and/or hyperglycemia. One African American male participant, who was asymptomatic, had severe hypertension (220/154) and was immediately transported to the nearest hospital for evaluation.

1. What are some feasible referrals that may have made for those with abnormal screening results?

2. What types of primary prevention strategies may benefit those attendees who had normal screening results?

3. What is the rationale for conducting the health fair on a Sunday?

4. In what ways do student nurses benefit from participating at a health fair?
