The Nurse Is Reviewing the Importance of Preventative Health Care

The nurse is reviewing the importance of preventative health care with a patient who has a disability. The patient states that she will not have the money to pay for her annual gynecologic exams or mammograms due to the cost of this hospitalization. What information would be appropriate for the nurse to share with the patient?

A) Limited finances are a common problem for patients with a disability. Since you were hospitalized this year, you can likely forego the gynecologic exam and mammogram.
B) These are very important health preventative measures, so you will need to borrow the money to
Pay for the exam and mammogram.
C) Ill look into federal assistance programs that provide financial assistance for health-related expenses for people with disabling conditions.
D) These preventative measures should likely be tax deductible, so you should consult with your accountant and then make your appointments.
