A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has been newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Which of the following information demonstrates health literacy by the client?

Choice A reason: Identifying viruses across the world is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a function or a goal of the framework, but a task of other organizations, such as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Choice B reason: Monitoring nonmodifiable risk factors is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a focus or a priority of the framework, but a part of the assessment and evaluation of the health status and needs of the population. The framework emphasizes the social determinants of health, which are modifiable factors that affect the health and wellbeing of people and communities.
Choice C reason: Utilizing health data from the past 20 years is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a characteristic or a feature of the framework, but a method of developing and updating the framework. The framework is based on the best available evidence and data from various sources, including the previous iterations of the Healthy People initiative.
Choice D reason: Establishing health objectives for Americans is an information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is the main purpose and function of the framework, which sets data driven national objectives to improve the health and wellbeing of all people over the next decade. The framework also provides evidence-based resources, strategies, and interventions to help achieve the objectives.

Choice A reason: If client is uninsured the ED can decline to render services is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that contradicts the purpose and the provision of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must provide an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who requests it, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
Choice B reason: The ED has the right to refuse to provide client services is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that violates the principle and the requirement of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department has a duty to provide stabilizing treatment to any individual who has an emergency medical condition or is in active labor, unless an appropriate transfer is arranged.

Choice C reason: The ED can transfer medically unstable clients to other facilities is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that breaches the rule and the regulation of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must not transfer an individual who has an emergency medical condition or is in active labor, unless the transfer is requested by the individual or their representative, or the transfer meets certain criteria, such as the benefits outweigh the risks, the receiving facility has agreed to accept the transfer, and the transfer is effected by qualified personnel and equipment.
Choice D reason: Clients must receive a medical screening evaluation (MSE) is an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a true statement that reflects the essence and the standard of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must provide an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who comes to the emergency department and requests examination or treatment for a medical condition, to determine whether or not an emergency medical condition exists
