If a hospital bill is $500 and an insured individual has an 85-15 percent co-insurance, what amount of money must be paid by the insured person?

The friend of an impoverished 50-year-old male called 911 because his friend had chest pain. On scene, the patient informs you that he does have a cardiac history and has not seen his cardiologist in over a year since he lost his job. Additionally, he does not want treatment or transport since he knows that both are expensive and will be unable to pay for it. In this situation your best response

would be: A) "In this situation, it is your right to refuse and I respect that." B) "You may be eligible for free or reduced-cost medical care." C) "I will make sure that you do not get a bill for this." D) "You can refuse, but at least follow up with your cardiologist."

The terms petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses all describe:

a. Varying degrees of thrombocytopenia b. Varying degrees of thrombocythemia c. Varying qualitative platelet disorders d. Varying size hemorrhages into the skin because of small-vessel bleeding
