Which is the correct answer?

Hi guys!

I'm studying for my exit exam, does anyone know the correct answer to this question? I keep seeing different answers online, and if possible provide me a rationale:

A community health nurse is developing a brochure about hypertension. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
A. Explain medical terminology using basic, one-syllable words.
B. Present information from complex to simple.
C. Write the information at an 8th-grade reading level.
D. Use a 12-point font size.

Thank you!

    This is a hard question. All of the answers could possibly be right when you look at the question but I think they want you to pick the "best possibly" "the most reasonable answer". Thinking back to school I remember that you are to explain things to patients as simple as possible for better understanding so I would say A. I hate questions like this....smh.

    A is best answer for patients need simple explanations to more easily understand info. Looking for greatest impact on healthcare literacy.

    Why wrong:

    B  - info should be  presented simple to complex --build on prior knowledge

    C -  best reading level to reach across wide audience is not greater than 6th grade.

    D -  12 point font is appropriate, 14 font best for older adults.  But not the most impact on hypertension education.
