Question

Norm is a 51 year old Indigenous man who lives in an island community in the Torres Strait. He presents at the local community health centre with symptoms of a persistent sore throat and productive cough with some blood specks which he attributes to the strain of coughing.

Norm is very reluctant to accept the advice that he needs to attend the regional health care facility on the mainland. Norm, who has smoked cigarettes since he was 14 years old, admits that his diagnosis is probably not too good.

Identify supportive services and information you could offer to help Norm manage his condition should he maintain his stance to not attend a regional health care facility.
