A nurse is preparing to provide education to a client about the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: The ACA reduces disparities in health care. The nurse should include this information because the ACA aims to improve access to healthcare services for all individuals, including marginalized populations, thus reducing disparities. Choice B is incorrect as the ACA is not solely for individuals requiring tertiary care but for all individuals. Choice C is incorrect as individuals do not need to qualify to participate in ACA insurance coverage; it is available to all. Choice D is incorrect as the ACA specifically prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions.
