Delays in receiving evidence-based treatment resulting in worsening symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> Health-related misinformation and disinformation can cause patients to refuse or delay appropriate, evidence-based care, which can lead to worsening symptoms, preventable complications, and poorer health outcomes, as seen in this patient declining effective hormone replacement therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Takeaway\"><\/span>Main Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Both misinformation and disinformation can impact patient well-being and safety while undermining trust in clinicians such as nurses, pharmacists, and physicians.<\/strong> When inaccurate health information leads to uninformed patient decision-making, improper treatment, delays in care, or avoidance of necessary medical interventions, patient well-being and safety are at risk. For example, misinformation falsely linking vaccines to autism can contribute to vaccine hesitancy, leading to lower vaccination rates and higher susceptibility to preventable diseases. Similarly, misinformation or disinformation promoting unapproved dietary supplements as alternatives to evidence-based treatments can encourage reliance on the use of quick fixes, ineffective therapies, and avoidance of appropriate medical treatments. <strong>This can cause delays in seeking medical advice, reliance on unregulated products, and harmful side effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Misinformation and disinformation can also undermine trust in clinicians by distorting perceptions, obstructing clear communication, and straining the clinician-patient relationship.<\/strong> Patients exposed to inaccurate health information may arrive at medical appointments with incorrect beliefs about diagnoses, treatments, and overall care. This can lead to unrealistic expectations, resistance to evidence-based care, and healthcare decisions that negatively impact their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.
