A patient has been prescribed ultraviolet (UV) light therapy for a skin condition. The patient says, This treatment is so expensive, I think I will go to the tanning salon instead. The nurse would provide which information?
 
  1. Your insurance should pay for your treatments.
  2. The light therapy you require should be closely monitored.
  3. That will only work if your tanning salon has a particular type of bed.
  4. That would save you quite a bit of money.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The nurse should not offer an opinion on what the patient's insurance will fund.
Rationale 2: The UV light therapy from a health care provider is monitored, and tanning beds are not a substitute and should be avoided.
Rationale 3: The type of bed in the tanning salon is irrelevant.
Rationale 4: The nurse should not encourage the patient to use this type of therapy.
Global Rationale: The UV light therapy from a health care provider is monitored, and tanning beds are not a substitute and should be avoided. The nurse should not offer an opinion on what the patient's insurance will fund. The type of bed in the tanning salon is irrelevant. The nurse should not encourage the patient to use this type of therapy.
