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

Ans: 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.

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

mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinants of this client's health?

(Select all that apply.)

A) Household income of $23,000 per year

B) Reading level of a third grader

C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription

D) Originally from Sudan

E) No family in the area

Ans: A, B, D, E

Feedback:

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

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

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

have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical,

social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical error

on the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social

determinant of the client's health.
