Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medicare eligibility is linked to Social Security eligibility, so it is appropriate for the nurse to ask if the patient receives or qualifies to receive Social Security benefits. Medicaid benefits are based on financial need and do not necessarily determine Medicare eligibility. Asking about yearly income or anticipated medical expenses are not relevant to determining Medicare eligibility.
