A healthy 60-year-old African-American woman regularly receives her health care at the clinic in her neighborhood. She is due for a mammogram.
 
  At her first clinic visit, her physi-cian, concerned about the 3-week wait at the neighborhood clinic, made an appointment for her to have a mammogram at a teaching hospital across town. She did not keep her appoint-ment and returned to the clinic today to have the nurse check her blood pressure. What would be the most appropriate thing for the nurse to say to this patient? 1. Do you have transportation to the teaching hospital so that you can get your mammogram?
  2. I am concerned that you missed your appointment; let me make you another one..
  3. It is very dangerous to skip your mammograms; your breasts need to be checked..
  4. Would you like for me to make an appointment for you to have your mammo-gram here?

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. African-American women often have the perception of being treated with pre-judice by health care providers. By questioning the potential lack of transportation, this may further lead to this perception.
2. Incorrect. African-American women report not participating in early breast cancer screening because breast cancer comes by chance and getting it is determined by a higher power. This statement is a reflection of the nurse's beliefs, not the patient's.
3. Incorrect. This type of statement can be perceived as judgmental and derogatory. It may alienate and embarrass the patient.
4. Correct. This statement is nonjudgmental and gives the patient options as to where she may have her mammogram. Furthermore, it is an innocuous way to investigate the reasons why the patient missed her previous appointment.

Answer to Question 2

B

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
