Due to budget cuts, a community has reduced its garbage pickup frequency from twice a week to once a week. Because of this the population health nurse should be concerned about the potential increase in:

1. Making the area look unsightly.
2. Animal pests that could spread disease.
3. The amount of trash generated per household.
4. Spreading weeds from uncollected grass clippings.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. A cutback in the collection of garbage can allow it to pile up, which increases the potential for animal pests around the garbage and the potential to spread disease. Despite making the area look unsightly, this does not have the potential to affect health, nor do weeds from uncollected grass clippings. The amount of trash generated per household is not likely to increase; it will only accumulate from being collected less frequently.
