v v v v v v v v v v v v v




exemplifies providing patient-centered care?

v v v v v v v v v v




reviewing it with the client
v v v v v




B) Explaining to a client the benefits of computer-assisted robotic surgical v v v v v v v v v




techniques, which the hospital recently implemented
v v v v v v




C) Recording a client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record v v v v v v v v v v

ANSWER: A v




Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families,
v v v v v v v v




v and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health
v v v v v v v v v v v v




v becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their healthcare providers make
v v v v v v v v v v v




v better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a
v v v v v v v v v v v v




v series of tools that empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes,
v v v v v v v v v v v v




v including client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical
v v v v v v v




techniques, electronic health records, andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are
v v v v v v v v v v v v




v all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v active participant in his or hercare, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

v Feedback:
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education, literacy,
v v v v v v v v v v v v




v home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of health
v v v v v v v v v v v




v services are the social determinants of health. These conditions have an impact on the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v extent to which a person or community possesses the physical, social, and personal
v v v v v v v v v v v v




resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical erroron the part of the client's
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client's
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v health.
