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



bestexemplifies providing patient-centered care?
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik

thenreviewing it with the client
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik



B) Explaining to a client the benefits of computer-assisted robotic ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



surgicaltechniques, which the hospital recently implemented
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



C) Recording a client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a client while the client is ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



in thehospital ijik ijik ijk



Ans: A ijik



Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-reported functional
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical techniques, electronic health
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



records, andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are all technological
ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more active
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



participant in his or hercare, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



care.

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



diabetes mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinants of this
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



client's health?(Select all that apply.)
ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik



A) Household income of $23,000 per year ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



B) Reading level of a third grader ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



D) Originally from Sudan ijik ijik



E) No family in the ijik ijik ijik



areaAns:
ijik A, B, D, E ijk i j i k ijik ijik ijik



Feedback:

The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



conditions have an impact on the extent to which a person or community
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



possesses the physical, social, and personal resources necessary to attain and
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



maintain health. A medical erroron the part of the client's primary care provider
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client's health.

,3. A nurse successfully persuades an obese client to perform a weekly weigh-in at
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



homeusing a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



example of:
ijik ijik



A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology ijik ijik



C) Personal responsibility for health ijik ijik ijik



D) Evidence-based
nursingAns: C
ijik ijk ij ik



Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



changein lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



distance clinical healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



health, and health administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



as the comprehensive management of health information and its exchange between
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner. Evidence-
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



based nursing is the integrationof the best evidence available with clinical expertise
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



and the values of the client to increase the quality of care.

4. A nurse performs a variety of tasks as part of the nurse's position at a hospital.
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



Whichtask best exemplifies public health?
ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik



A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



dailypractice ijik ijk



B) Instructing a client on how to best care for a suture site at home ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



C) Participating in a videoconference call with a client who lives in a remote area ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



theyear ijik ijk



Ans: D ijik



Feedback:
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



which people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



great example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



effort of societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the
ijik ijik ijik ijk ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ij ik ijik



latest nursing research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a
ij ik ij ik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



client on how to best care for a suture site at home is an example of personal
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



responsibility for health, but it is not focused on the health of the greater
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



community. Participating in a videoconference call with a client who lives in a
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



remote area is an example of patient-centered care and of an effective
ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik ijik



implementation of technology, but it is not particularly related to public health.
