The nurse is providing care to an Asian American, who does not speak English. The client has not been seen by a health care provider in several years. Which may have been a factor in why this client has not accessed the health care system?
1. Income.
2. Level of education.
3. Fear of deportation.
4. Age.
Correct Answer: 3
Asian Americans may contend with infrequent medical visits due to fear of deportation, language and cultural barriers, and lack of health insurance. Income and level of education are more likely to cause health disparities among the Hispanic population. Age is not a factor for infrequent medical visits for Asian Americans.
