The population health nurse is assisting with a booth at a health fair to help community members sign up for health insurance. For which reasons should the nurse promote the importance of having health insurance? (Select all that apply.)
1. Eliminates health disparities.
2. Means the individual has full-time employment.
3. Guarantees no difficulty in obtaining health care.
4. Ensures the individual has a regular source of care.
5. The individual has a greater likelihood of receiving health promotive services.
Answer: 4, 5
Explanation: 4. Having health insurance is associated with having a regular source of care and a greater likelihood of receiving health promotive services. Health disparities address the differences in measures of health status or access to health services, which have been associated with insurance status as well as other factors. Having health insurance does not lessen the difficulty in obtaining health care because there may be restrictions on the type of health insurance a person has. Not all who are employed full-time can afford health insurance as their incomes may be within the gap that is between federal coverage but too expensive to purchase privately.
