According to a recent survey, 85% of Americans use the Internet.For whatever reason, 15% do not.The nurse must be cognizant of the divide between these two groups because not everyone even has ready access to the Internet.If patients need to go to a public library or some other public space to access information, this decreases the likelihood of their actually doing so.The other options are items to assess, but they are not nearly as important as ensuring the patients have the ability and resources to use the Internet.
