Competency In Client-Focused Care Is Demonstrated When The Nurse Focuses On Communication,
Culture, Respect Compassion, Client Education, And Empowerment. By Assessing The Effect Of The
Clients Culture On Health Care, This Nurse Is Practicing Client-Focused Care. Providing For Basic

Not Providing Empowering Education. Orienting The Client And Family To The Room Is An Important
Safety Measure, But Not Directly Related To Demonstrating Client-Centered Care.
