Answer to Question 1
A, B
Health literacy includes the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. If the patient can condense the enormous amount of information on the Internet and determine what is reliable, she has a reasonable degree of health literacy. Motivation, the rationale for the patient's preference, and trust are not related to health literacy, although they might be important pieces of information to obtain.
Answer to Question 2
A, C, D
Health literacy includes the ability to understand instructions on prescription drug bottles, appointment slips, medical education brochures, doctor's directions and consent forms, and the ability to negotiate complex health care systems. Needing instructions written down step by step, not knowing what health care provider to call, and getting mixed up and frustrated over instructions demonstrate this patient's lack of the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. Not being able to read well and not being able to afford medications are certainly barriers to explore, but they are not related to health literacy.
