Owens Has Come to the Clinic to See the Nurse

Owens has come to the clinic to see the nurse practitioner about her persistent cough. Recently, she was laid off from her job at the retail store and lost all benefits. She has had a fever and chills for several days. As the nurse begins the assessment, Mrs. Owens begins to cry and says: "I have no money to pay for medicine or this visit. Please do not order an antibiotic, because I cannot pay for it." The nurse's best response would be which of the following?

A) "I understand your concerns, Mrs.Owens.I have free medicine from donors to give you."
B) "I understand your concerns Mrs.Owens.It looks like you will qualify for Medicaid benefits."
C) "Don't worry Mrs.Owens, I won't prescribe an antibiotic."
D) "Mrs.Owens, perhaps you can be seen in the emergency department.They can give you free antibiotics."
