Kelly is a registered nurse who is employed by a county public health agency. One of her responsibilities within the agency is coordinating the lead poisoning prevention program. She recently initiated a door-to-door screening program in a high-risk area of the county. She also has started providing countywide education about lead poisoning prevention.
During the past several months she has seen an increase in the number of new cases of lead poisoning that have been reported.
