A. Following physician prescriptions without questioning them
B. Providing patient-centered care based on evidence, ethics,
and clinical judgment
C. Prioritizing organizational goals over patient preferences
D. Delegating all nontechnical tasks to assistive personnel
Correct Answer: B

Professional nursing practice is grounded in patient-centered
care, evidence-based interventions, ethical principles, and
sound clinical judgment. Nurses integrate these elements to
promote optimal outcomes and patient safety.
Rationale for C:
Healthcare organizations have important goals, but patient
welfare remains the nurse's primary focus. Patient preferences
and values should be incorporated whenever possible.
Rationale for D:

Delegation is a nursing responsibility, but nurses remain
accountable for patient outcomes. Delegating all nontechnical
tasks is neither practical nor reflective of professional nursing
accountability.
Key Takeaway:
Professional nursing practice combines evidence-based care,
ethics, advocacy, and clinical judgment to achieve safe patient-
centered outcomes.

centered care?
Options:

Correct Answer: C
Rationale for A:
Standardized education may not address individual needs,
literacy levels, or concerns. Patient-centered care requires
personalization.
Rationale for B:
Laboratory findings are important but represent only one
aspect of holistic care. Effective care plans include patient
values, preferences, and goals.
Rationale for C:
Patient-centered care respects cultural, personal, and social
factors that influence health decisions and treatment
adherence.
Rationale for D:
Patients are more likely to adhere to treatment when barriers
and concerns are openly discussed and addressed
collaboratively.
Key Takeaway:
Patient-centered care involves partnership, respect for
preferences, and individualized planning.
