Pearl is a 64-year-old caucasian female cancer survivor. She lives outside of Chicago in a fixed
income household. Because she has Medicare, she has to travel over an hour to see a primary care
provider. Lately, she's been feeling exhausted and not like herself. Her healthcare team does a
routine exam, checks her height and weight, but does not review her medical and medication
history and past cancer treatment. The PCP suggests she takes melatonin, provides healthy diet
recommendations, and asks that she returns in two weeks.
Given Pearl's situation, describe the implications of not providing value-based care. List all cost
considerations you think the doctor should have made before recommending melatonin and a two-
week follow up. - ANS✔✔--By not reviewing her medical history, they cannot determine if her
current symptoms are a sign of a larger problem. This will likely cause the underlying issue to
become worse and increase her cost of care. This suggests follow-up visits and the addition of
melatonin would increase out-of-pocket costs for the patient.
Explain how considering patients' SDOH could influence the care you provide to them. - ANS✔✔-
-It doesn't grade this question so you can make something up
What does equity mean in the context of organizational ethics principles? - ANS✔✔--(C) Health
equity seeks to resolve the disparities that contribute to the social determinants of health.

reimbursement.

emotional support and empathy

What are common side effects of Cantaflex? - ANS✔✔--(C) nausea and hair loss

support you further advocating for your patients - ANS✔✔--Type anything in
, Which red flag has Nurse Mills identified as it relates to patient symptoms? - ANS✔✔--(B) Pearl
and Jett are not exhibiting typical side effects.
Which of the following are examples of Social Determinants of Health? - ANS✔✔--(A) housing
quality and transportation accessibility; education quality, job opportunities, and income bracket;
nutritious foods accessibility and physical activity opportunities
What is the primary goal of value-based care? - ANS✔✔--(B) improve patient outcomes and
create a financially sustainable healthcare system
Jett is a 26-year-old African American male. He lives in Chicago, but the closest grocery store is over
two subway rides away. He commutes to his doctor's office in an affluent suburb outside of the
city. Within the last month, Jett was diagnosed with elevated cholesterol and Stage I blood
pressure. He was provided with a list of dietary recommendations for a low-sodium and
mediterranean diet. The food was difficult to find and what he did find was pretty low in quality. As
time goes on, he has only been feeling worse.
What SDOH should his healthcare providers have considered? - ANS✔✔--Either:
(B) limitation of living in a food desert and limited access to high quality food, care, and
transportation
or
(D) typical knowledge of high quality food, transportation, and care for their average patient
According to the info sheets, what are the benefits of prescribing Cantaflex over Xinfil? -
ANS✔✔--(A) Cantaflex is the #1 pharmaceutical drug on the market, is a more cost-effective
treatment, and broadly demonstrates more promising results than Xinfil.
What category of SDOH is most relevant to the case at Windsor Oncology? - ANS✔✔--C)
healthcare access and quality
Consider the documents selected and notes taken above. Justify your choices. What case are you
presenting to Dr. Bolden? - ANS✔✔--The information provided from patient's notes and
pharmaceutical company clinical trial reports suggest that the patients present with no sign and
symptoms that match expected clinical manifestations of the chemotherapy drug. The case
presented to Dr. Bolden would include tumor growth or unchanged tumor size and uncharacteristic
signs and symptoms.
What key information is presented in the Shipping and Receiving Log? - ANS✔✔--anything
Consider the documents reviewed and notes taken before. Justify your choices. What case are you
building with Dr.Bolden and bringing to the FBI? - ANS✔✔--The case presented to Dr. Bolden
would include tumor growth or unchanged tumor size and uncharacteristic signs and symptoms.
After the meeting with Dr. Bolden, she would add information that showed her writing the orders
for the Cantaflex, and the patient files that verified tumor growth or unchanged tumor. The nurse
along with Dr. Bolden will present all the evidence to the FBI that shows that there is possibly a
problem with some medication that comes from the pharmaceutical company. The assumption can
not be made that all of the medication is flawed because some patients have seen positive results.
