Practice Question

A nurse should identify a possible health literacy barrier when a client responds with which of the following statements?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"l don't like to read: just tell me what I need to know

Rationale:

🤎 A client who prefers verbal instruction over reading may have limited literacy or difficulty understanding written materials.

🤎 Recognizing this allows the nurse to adapt teaching strategies to visual or auditory formats.

🤎 This is a barrier to effective self-care and decision-making, especially with medication or written discharge instructions.

🤎 The other statements reflect personal preferences or assistive needs (e.g., glasses), not a barrier to comprehension.
