Question

The nurse interprets what statement from the patient as a possible indication of healthcare illiteracy?

A) "I'll read this brochure and let you know if I have questions."
B) "Can you give me another brochure for my wife?"
C) "I'll read this later. I don't have my glasses."
D) "I read this brochure and have some questions about what I read."

Answer 1

The nurse interprets option C) "I'll read this later. I don't have my glasses." as a possible indication of healthcare illiteracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse interprets option C) "I'll read this later. I don't have my glasses." as a possible indication of healthcare illiteracy. This statement suggests that the patient may have difficulty reading the brochure due to not having their glasses, indicating a potential issue with their ability to understand healthcare information. The patient's statement in option B) "Can you give me another brochure for my wife?" may be seen as a request for additional information for their spouse, but it does not necessarily indicate healthcare illiteracy.
