Chapter 1: Public Health Nursing
1. A nurse is striving to practice patient-centered care at a hospital. Which
action best exemplifies providing patient-centered care?
A) Having a client complete a self-reported functional status indicator
and then reviewing it with the client
B) Explaining to a client the benefits of computer-assisted robotic
surgical techniques, which the hospital recently implemented
C) Recording a client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record
D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a client while the client
is in the hospital
ANSWER: A
Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values,
families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care,
and monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and
their healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower
clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-
reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical
techniques, electronic health records, and continuous glucose monitoring in
the hospital are all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help
the client become a more active participant in his or her care, and thus are not
good examples of patient-centered care.
