1. A nurse is striving to practice patient-
centered care at a hospital. Which action best exemplifies providing patie
nt-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 clien
t is in the hospital
ANSWER: A
Feedback:
Patient-
centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, familie
s, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and
monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and thei
r healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Rese
arch and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower cli
ents and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-
reported functional status indicators. Computer-
assisted robotic surgical techniques, electronic health records, and continuous gl
ucose monitoring in the hospital are all technological advances in healthcare,
but they do not help the client become a more active participant in his o
r her care, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

, pe 2 diabetes mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinan
ts of this client's health? (Select all that apply.)

D, E Feedback:
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, educ
ation, literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, cultur
e, and availability of health services are the social determinants of health.
These conditions have an impact on the extent to which a person or comm
unity possesses the physical, social, and personal resources necessary to attai
n and maintain health. A medical error on the part of the client's primary c
are provider or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client
's health.
