Which action(s) should the nurse prioritize in this situation? Which action(s) should the nurse avoid? Should nurses know and understand the types of health insurance available to clients? Why or Why not?
You are working at an urgent care center when a young family comes in with a 6-year-old boy needing appropriate treatment for a hand laceration, which occurred when he hit a curb and fell off his bicycle. Upon further assessment, you learn the family just recently moved in with other family members after relocating from the neighboring state. The father just started a new job, but the mother is still seeking employment. As a result, they currently have no health insurance and appear very anxious about the potential cost of this visit. During your interaction with the family, you detect potential health issues in other members of this family, which you suspect may not be getting appropriate care.
