Answer:
Option B, wrong
Explanation:
The goal of providing care as a healthcare provider is not limited to only to looking after the physical health of the patient. It also encompasses helping to increase the patient's health literacy -- that is, one's ability to receive, obtain, and understand credible and accessible health information that fits their reading level.
We are currently living in a digital era, where both information and misinformation can easily be spread and absorbed or interpreted by unsuspecting people who do not know exactly how to accurately factcheck what the media they consume. The examples of this are endless -- from influencers selling skinny teas and promoting raw organ meat diets, to news pundits fearmongering a long-used medication. Further, some of the avenues by which people can obtain up-to-date factual health information are behind paywalls, placing yet another barrier between the patient and higher health literacy. These patients are in need of interventions from healthcare professionals.
Thus, healthcare providers should be somewhat involved in what websites their patients are visiting. This is not to say healthcare providers should be combative, directive, and or undermine their patients' autonomy and beliefs. Rather, healthcare providers should be pointing patients in the right direction for correct health information written in layman's terms.
So the given statement is wrong, option B.
