Question

Which benefits result from making informed healthcare decisions? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Individuals are empowered to take responsibility.

I just took the test and this is the right answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

The choices that apply are:

B), and C),                                      

Explanation:

A) would have been an excellent choice. However, even the most informed decision takers about health issues will always be exposed to serendipitous (that is accidental) health issues.

D) is obviously a no brainer. Making informed healthcare decisions have no way of reducing or increasing access to available information.

E) this option seems irrational. Freedom of choice with regard to care cannot be a benefit of making informed healthcare decisions

Therefore:

B) which states that it gives individuals more responsibility towards their care is much more logical. When people are informed about their health conditions, it gives them more power to help manage their condition. For example, a diabetic patient who is well informed about how the body functions under such an ailment will be better equipped to manager their own health

C) states that being informed can DECREASE the prevalence of health issues. This is also logical. For example, those who live with the Corona virus will stand a better chance at beating it if they are well informed.
