Arriving to the emergency room, a client is convinced that he has a tumor that requires immediate surgery. He tells the provider that he looked his symptoms up on the internet and that is why he came in. What should be the provider's response? "I will discuss your case with the surgeon on call." "The internet is always wrong. You do not have a tumor." "Let's talk about your symptoms before we go any further." "We should look up the symptoms together on a few different sites."​ ​

"Let's talk about your symptoms before we go any further." ---------------------------------- Since most people inaccurately self-diagnose, it is important to evaluate the symptoms before jumping to conclusions. Searching on the web for health information can be a helpful tool for validating minor symptoms.

Use the teach-back method --------------------- For client with low health literacy, the teach-back method would help the nurse know that the client understood her.

Images and larger font written material can also be used. Language should be kept simple and refrain from using medical terminology. ​

Although an organization, The Cleveland Clinic is a healthcare system. This is also a credible source. Blogs and sites that do not appear professional are probably not the best sources of information. ​
