Sample Answer for CONSUMER HEALTH INFORMATION NURS 8210 Included After Question
Popular health information websites (such as the ones noted above) have consumers
logging on to acquire health information. Yet, research shows that many of today’s
consumers need assistance searching for information as well as understanding and
applying it. Lack of technological expertise, low levels of health literacy, and an inability
to distinguish relevant facts are just some of the documented challenges.
As you work through this Discussion, keep in mind that health literacy does not merely
imply access to information, but also the capacity to process that information to make
informed decisions. In this Discussion, be sure to conceptualize nursing’s roles and
responsibilities in assisting patients with web-based information.

To prepare:
With the information from the Learning Resources in mind, consider the amount and
types of health information available to consumers online.
Reflect on the patients you have encountered in your practice, and consider their health
literacy and use of online information.
Evaluate strategies you could use to educate and assist your patients to appropriately use
health information found on the web.
By Day 3 post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
Synthesize your previous experiences with consumer health literacy in your practice
setting.
Formulate strategies that you could use to assist patients in interpreting and applying
online health information going forward. Include strategies for those patients that overuse
medical websites or regularly misinterpret medical information found online.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
By Day 6 respond to at least two of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways:
Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence,
or research.
Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information
to provide new perspectives.
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from
your own research in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.

Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after
synthesizing multiple postings.
Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting
perspectives based on readings and evidence.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what
you learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.
Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and
any additional sources.
