Question

The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 allowed refugees to resettle in the United States and have access to health care through resettlement programs. This would likely result in an increased number of refugee clients seeking health care services, which would therefore have the greatest impact on practicing nurses. Option A is incorrect because the act actually increased immigration rates, so there would likely be more, not fewer, clients from outside of the United States. Option B is incorrect because it is too specific to one particular language and culture, and there is no information supporting the idea that Chinese individuals would be the most common non-English-speaking clients seen by nurses. Option C is also incorrect because while there may be some undocumented immigrants seeking health care services, the act did not specifically address undocumented immigration and its impact on nursing practice would be less significant than that of increased refugee resettlement.
