Homework Answers
The accessibility to technology has advantages and disadvantages. Now people look for the health changes on the internet before they consult a clinician. This is not a new or bad thing, as the technology is meant for human betterment.
Usually , the patients search about their diagnosis on internet and collect the details like causes, doubts, treatment methods and prognosis reports. When a patient tells a nurse that he researched on Wikipedia about his diagnosis, the nurse can welcome it with a very positive attitude. she can tell the patient, "that is good, and what all things you got to know about the diagnosis?"
The nurse can consider his curiosity as his anxiety and knowledge need, so she can discuss with him, what all ideas he got about his diagnosis, and can clarify his doubts, keeping the realistic and positive attitude towards the condition and outcome.
The nurse can add any points about the health condition and the care and also can clear the doubts by citing examples from her experience etc.
