Answer to Question 1
C
In a recent survey sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 33 reported relying on home remedies and over-the-counter drugs rather than visiting a doctor, and 28 postponed necessary care. Seventeen percent reported experiencing serious financial problems because of family medical bills. Seven percent reported being unable to pay for basic necessities such as food, heat, or housing because of health care costs. Forty percent reported being very worried about having to pay more for their health care or health insurance. The nurse should assess insurance status using open-ended statements.
Although the nurse is interested in why the prescription has not been filled, the goal is not to sound accusing.
Is that medicine too expensive for you to get filled? is a yes/no question that will elicit only a limited amount of information.
Why questions frequently promote defensive responses and are not the best choice for asking about sensitive information.
