ANS: B
The newest threats to health that public health nurses are involved in are HIV, H1N1 influenza, and bioterrorism. Hepatitis is also a current threat, but diphtheria and cholera are not concerns in the United States. Avian flu may be a threat, but radiation and tuberculosis are ongoing. Environmental pollution has been reduced; however, there are pollution issues that do raise concerns.
