Question 5 of 5
From which health care professional is a rural resident with asthma more likely to receive health care services?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nurse practitioner. In rural areas, access to specialized healthcare professionals like allergists and pulmonologists may be limited. Nurse practitioners are more likely to be available in rural settings, providing primary care services including asthma management. Pediatricians may also be scarce in rural areas, and they primarily focus on children's health. Nurse practitioners can provide holistic care for patients of all ages, making them more accessible and suitable for asthma management in rural communities.
