Nursing Across the Lifespan Exam 2 Practice

FANCAPES is a public health nursing mnemonic used to categorize environmental and personal factors that influence health, including Elimination—the ability to dispose of waste safely and manage excretion. Proper elimination helps prevent contamination and infection, so it’s included in this framework. Vaccination, hydration, and mobility are important health topics, but they are not elements defined by FANCAPES.
