8 0

Almost half i.e. 50% of all American adults—90 million people—have difficulty in understanding and acting upon health information.

Health literacy is key to keeping a wholesome lifestyle and making knowledgeable judgments about our health care. As per the National Assessment of Adult Literacy survey, two in five American grown-ups have a problem in processing health knowledge and assistance required to take suitable health decisions.

Approximately 36% of adult Americans have only primary or below primary health literacy aptitudes. They may be able to read and comprehend a simple appointment slip or patient education brochure. They would undergo hardship with more complex details such as prescription medication labels or informed approval documents.

What errors could be introduced by the Medical Assistant? What can you do to reduce errors when taking vital signs?
Artemon [7]
Some of the errors that a Medical Assistant can introduce could be errors in getting patient's profile and medical history. Others can include giving of wrong advise that can put the patient in danger. To reduce errors in taking vital signs first one should make sure that the equipment to be use is working properly. There should also be precautions like when taking blood pressure, one should put the cuff 1-2 inches above the antecubital and should not be too lose or too tight to avoid false reading. For temperature, one should also compare the reading at the thermometer and touch the patient if he or she is warm or cold and for the pulse rate and respiratory rate, one should count on full minute not just 15 seconds multiply it to 4 to get a one minute.

Felice’s doctor has determined that her blood is not clotting easily enough. Which type of drug would most likely be prescribed
Rudik [331]
Hemostatic drug

Antibiotics are used to treat an infection, so it wouldn’t be that one. Thrombolytic drugs are used to prevent blood clots, and they thin blood. So not that one. Coagulant drugs are used to thicken things, but this is a anticoagulant. Meaning it will thin it. I think the only logical answer would be hemostatic drug.
