1. A nurse is striving to practice patient-centered care at a hospital. Which action

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

2. A nurse is caring for an older client who is struggling to manage her type 2 diabetes

The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical,
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
erroron the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
social determinant of the client's health.

,3. A nurse successfully persuades an obese client to perform a weekly weigh-in at
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
homeusing a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an example
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
of:
ju
A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology ju ju
C) Personal responsibility for health ju ju ju
D) Evidence-based
nursingAns: C
ju ju ju
Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
changein lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
clinical healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public health, and
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
health administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined as the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
comprehensive management of health information and its exchange between
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner. Evidence-based
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
nursing is the integrationof the best evidence available with clinical expertise and the
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
values of the client to increase the quality of care.

D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
theyear ju ju
Ans: D ju
Feedback:
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in which
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a great
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective effort of
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the latest nursing
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a client on how to best
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
care for a suture site at home is an example of personal responsibility for health, but it
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
is not focused on the health of the greater community. Participating in a
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
videoconference call with a client who lives in a remote area is an example of patient-
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
centered care and of an effective implementation of technology, but it is not particularly
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
related to public health.
