During a home visit the population nurse learns that the family’s father has recently lost his job, and the mother continues to be unemployed but takes care of the family’s five children. The mother is concerned because charitable organizations are not eager to provide resources to help the family as they have in the past. What should the nurse explain as the primary reason for charitable organizations to have less funds to distribute?
1. Charitable organizations are going out of business.
2. Charitable giving decreases during hard economic times.
3. The family is viewed as having received the maximum support.
4. The parents’ ability to work is negatively impacting the response from charities.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Charitable giving tends to decrease during hard economic times and frequently does not keep pace with inflation and the cost of providing charity care. In addition, many nonprofit organizations are faced with growing demands for assistance during economic downturns stretching their resources even further. Charitable organizations are not going out of business. There is no information to support that the family has received maximum support or the parents’ ability to work is negatively impacting the response from charities.
