The nurse is preparing to give an in-service to fellow staff members regarding the fact that many Americans cannot afford health insurance.
 
  The nurse plans to include which statement as a consequence of a client's not having health insurance? 1. The client's children are at risk of contracting diseases for which others are immunized.
   2. Delays of diagnoses lead to a higher death rate.
   3. Delays in health coverage for children put the health provider at risk for litigation.
   4. Older adults are less likely to be treated for falls.

Question 2

A young nurse believes passionately that clients should have access to the health care system when needed. After completing the course of study, the nurse plans to relocate from New England to a Southwestern state because:
 
  1. Salaries for nurses are higher in the Southwest than elsewhere in the U.S.
   2. More older adults live in the Southwest than elsewhere in the U.S.
   3. The need for services is greater in the Southwest than elsewhere in the U.S. due to a higher population.
   4. New England clients have fewer health care needs than those living elsewhere in the U.S.

Answer to Question 1

2. Delays of diagnoses lead to a higher death rate.

Rationale:
Those who are not insured often do not seek treatment in a timely manner due to finances. As a result, diagnosis is made in the later stages of the disease, resulting in decreased chance of survival and an increased cost of treatment. Children who do not have insurance have been denied health coverage in the past, but this is no longer the case; immunizations are free for children at public health clinics. Adults age 65 and older are eligible for Medicare and have access to health care for falls and other medical problems.

Answer to Question 2

3. The need for services is greater in the Southwest than elsewhere in the U.S. due to a higher population.

Rationale:
Clients in New England have much greater access to health services than clients elsewhere in the U.S., while clients in the Southwest face a decreasing number of health care providers. There is no evidence that a greater number older adults live in the Southwest than elsewhere in the U.S. or that there is a greater need for services due to increasing populations in the Southwest. There is no evidence that clients in New England have a greater need for services.
