Reducing Medical Errors — Unit test

Question 12 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Immanuel is worried that he might have a blood-borne disease after engaging in IV drug use but has little money and no health insurance. What is Immanuel’s best course of action?

Answer
A
Take a class about living with HIV.
B
Join a support group.
C
Ask the person who he shared a needle with if they have any diseases.
D
Find a nonprofit group that provides free testing.

Explanation

Immanuel should find a nonprofit group that provides free testing. Blood-borne infections can’t be ruled out by asking the person he shared a needle with, since that person may not know their status. A class or support group may offer help, but testing is the best next step to find out whether Immanuel has an infection.
