Chapter 1: Public Health Nursing
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
ANSWER: 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.
