Dr. Zimmer talks with Janice and explains her condition.  He recommends a monthly injection to help control her rheumatoid arthritis.  He hands Janice a small packet of paper that goes over the risks and benefits of this treatment option and also outlines alternative treatments if she were to prefer a different medication.  Janice asks Dr. Zimmer to read the paperwork to her.  Dr. Zimmer thought she might ask this because the front desk staff told him that Janice had asked them to read the intake forms out loud when she arrived for her appointment.  Dr. Zimmer is running behind for his next appointment and doesn’t have time to read the whole packet out loud.  He tells Janice “I’m not able to read to packet to you but I think this injection is the best option for you.  I always prescribe this injection for patients with your condition, in your age bracket and with your active lifestyle.   This packet goes over a bunch of information.  You should know this: The injection I’m prescribing is very effective, doesn’t have very many side effects and if we need to change to a different medication, we can do that at a future visit.

Ernest is а 79-yeаr-оld mаle diagnоsed with pancreatic cancer. Garrisоn is Ernest’s oncologist (physician who specializes in treating cancer).  Those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer often receive their diagnosis after the cancer has metastasized (spread to other regions of the body) because pancreatic cancer tends not to cause many symptoms early on.  Ernest’s cancer has metastasized, and Dr. Garrison estimates he has about 2 months to live without treatment and possibly 4 months with aggressive chemotherapy and radiation.  It is very important that Dr. Garrison demonstrates veracity by telling Ernest the truth about his short life expectancy even if he chooses aggressive treatment.  When discussing Ernest’s diagnosis, life expectancy and potential treatment plans, Dr. Garrison pays special attention to Ernest’s understanding of this information. She recognizes that this information can be complex and challenging to understand even on the best of days, but she’ll be communicating to a patient who has just learned he only has a few months to live.  She must communicate in a manner that supports Ernest’s health literacy.  Which of the following options is true of health literacy?
