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

diabetes mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinants of
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
huthis client's health?(Select all that apply.)
hu hu hu hu hu
A) Household income of $23,000 per year hu hu hu hu hu

The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
huliteracy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
huavailability of health services are the social determinants of health. These
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
huconditions have an impact on the extent to which a person or community
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu

hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
huor 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
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
home using a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
example of:
hu hu
A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology hu hu
C) Personal responsibility for health hu hu hu
D) Evidence-based nursing hu
Ans: C
hu hu
Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
distance clinical healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
health, and health administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
as the comprehensive management of health information and its exchange
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
between consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner.
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
Evidence-based nursing is the integration of the best evidence available with
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
clinical expertise 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.
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
Which task best exemplifies public health?
hu hu hu hu hu hu
A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
daily practice
hu hu
B) Instructing a client on how to best care for a suture site at home
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
C) Participating in a videoconference call with a client who lives in a remote area
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
the year hu hu
Ans: D hu
Feedback:
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
which people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
great example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
effort of societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
latest nursing research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
client on how to best care for a suture site at home is an example of personal
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
responsibility for health, but it is not focused on the health of the greater
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
community. Participating in a videoconference call with a client who lives in a
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
remote area is an example of patient-centered care and of an effective
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
implementation of technology, but it is not particularly related to public health.
