Full Answer
C.Better education on how to prevent the spread of HIV✓ Correct
Better education on how to prevent the spread of HIV
A decrease in new HIV cases would be caused by measures that prevent the virus from spreading. Better education on prevention (e.g., safe sex practices, not sharing needles) is a key public health strategy to reduce the transmission of HIV. A higher population could increase cases, and fewer nurses would hinder treatment and management, not prevention.
Common mistakes
✗ Selecting an option that would likely increase the number of cases, like a higher population.
