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.
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.
