Question 1 (MCQ)
Clinical Scenario
A nurse is caring for a hospitalized patient with heart failure.
During bedside rounds, the patient states, "I don't understand
why I keep receiving different instructions from different staff
members."
Question Stem
Which nursing action best demonstrates the QSEN competency
of patient-centered care?
Options
A. Providing education using standardized materials only
B. Collaborating with the healthcare team to ensure consistent
communication
C. Following provider orders without discussing them with the
patient
, D. Limiting patient participation to avoid confusion
Correct Answer
B. Collaborating with the healthcare team to ensure
consistent communication
Detailed Rationale
Patient-centered care requires coordination of care that
respects patient preferences, values, and needs. Consistent
communication among team members improves patient
understanding, engagement, and outcomes.
Incorrect Option Analysis
A
Incorrect because standardized materials alone do not
address individual concerns.
Misconception: Education equals patient-centered care.
Safety concern: May not meet learning needs.
C
Incorrect because patient-centered care includes patient
involvement.
Misconception: Following orders alone fulfills nursing
responsibilities.
