Case Study: Gracie, a 75-year-old French woman who relocated to Australia three months ago, was not adhering to his self-management plan for COPD. She is not fluent in English (reading and writing) or technology (using a cell phone and the internet), but could communicate in broken rudimentary English. Mrs Gracieas son is out of town for business. Mrs Gracie has come to your GP facility to seek help as she felt ill and required medical attention. Without her son, Gracie finds it hard to communicate and therefore, delayed seeking medical help. Mrs Gracie obtained a self-management leaflet from her doctor that was written in English.

Questions:

1 Give examples of potential health literacy concerns that may limit Mrs Gracieas ability to obtain adequate health care.

2 Describe method(s) you could use to help Mrs Gracie with her health literacy challenges.
