An older community member is concerned about the rising cost of prescription medications. Which part of Medicare should the population health nurse review with this individual?
1. Part A.
2. Part B.
3. Part C.
4. Part D.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Part D is the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, which was designed to provide drug subsidization for those enrolled in Medicare. Part C, which is the Medicare Advantage permits Medicare enrollees to exercise similar health care options as others in the population. Part B covers medically necessary provider services not covered under Part A. Part B coverage is optional and requires an additional payment premium. Part A covers medically necessary hospitalization, skilled nursing facility (SNF) care, some home health care, hospice, and blood products administered in in-patient facilities.
