1. A nursing attendant is striving to practice hospital client-centered care at a
W W W W W W W W W W W


Whealth center. Which action best exemplifies providing hospital client-
W W W W W W W W


centered care? W


A) Having a hospital client complete a self-reported functional status
W W W W W W W W


indicator and then reviewing it with the hospital client
W W W W W W W W W


B) Explaining to a hospital client the benefits of computer-W W W W W W W W


assisted robotic surgical techniques, which the health center
W W W W W W W


recently implemented
W W


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


D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a hospital client while the
W W W W W W W W W


hospital client is in the health center
W W W W W W W


ACCURATE ANSWER:-A W


Reasoning :->> W


Hospital client-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences,
W W W W W W W


Wvalues, families, and lifestyles. Hospital clients become active participants in their
W W W W W W W W W W


Wown care, and monitoring health becomes the hospital client's responsibility. To
W W W W W W W W W W


Whelp hospital clients and their healthcare providers make better decisions, the
W W W W W W W W W W


WAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wtools that empower hospital clients and assist providers in achieving desired
W W W W W W W W W W


Woutcomes, including hospital client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-
W W W W W W W


assisted robotic surgical techniques, electronic health records, and continuous glucose
W W W W W W W W W


Wmonitoring in the health center are all technological advances in healthcare, but
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wthey do not help the hospital client become a more active participant in his or her
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wcare, and thus are not good examples of hospital client-centered care.

2. A nursing attendant is caring for an older hospital client who is struggling to
W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wmanage her type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nursing attendant should recognize
W W W W W W W W W W


which social determinants of this hospital client's health? (Select all that apply.)
W W W W W W W W W W W W


A) Household income of $23,000 per year W W W W W


B) Reading level of a third grader W W W W W


C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription W W W W W W


D) Originally from Sudan W W


E) No family in the W W W


area
W ACCURATE W


WANSWER:-A, B, D, E W W W


Reasoning:->>
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wliteracy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
W W W W W W W W W


Wavailability of health services are the social determinants of health. These
W W W W W W W W W W


Wconditions have an impact on the extent to which a person or community
W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wpossesses the physical, social, and personal resources necessary to attain and
W W W W W W W W W W


Wmaintain health. A medical error on the part of the hospital client's primary care
W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wprovider or nursing attendant would not constitute a social determinant of the
W W W W W W W W W W W


Whospital client's health. W W

3. A nursing attendant successfully persuades an obese hospital client to perform a
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wweekly weigh-in at home using a digital scale and record the weight in a log.
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


WThis strategy is an example of:
W W W W W


A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology W W


C) Personal responsibility for health W W W


D) Evidence-based
Wnursing ACCURATE W


WANSWER:-C Reasoning:- W


>>
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
W W W W W W W W W W


Wthrough education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the hospital client makes a
W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wpositive change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wuse of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support
W W W W W W W W


Wlong-distance clinical healthcare, hospital client and professional health-related
W W W W W W W


Weducation, public health, and health administration. Health information technology
W W W W W W W W


W(HIT) is defined as the comprehensive management of health information and its
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wexchange between consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure
W W W W W W W W W


Wmanner. Evidence-based nursing is the integration of the best evidence available
W W W W W W W W W W


Wwith clinical expertise and the values of the hospital client to increase the quality
W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wof care.

4. A nursing attendant performs a variety of tasks as part of the nursing
W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wattendant's position at a health center. Which task best exemplifies public
W W W W W W W W W W


Whealth?
A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into
W W W W W W W W W


daily practice
W W


B) Instructing a hospital client on how to best care for a suture site at home
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


C) Participating in a videoconference call with a hospital client who lives in a remote
W W W W W W W W W W W W W


area W


D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of
W W W W W W W W W


the yearW W


ACCURATE ANSWER:-D W


Reasoning:->>
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in
W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wwhich people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a
W W W W W W W W W W W


Wgreat example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective
W W W W W W W W W W W W


Weffort of society to improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the
W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wlatest nursing research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a
W W W W W W W W W W


Whospital client on how to best care for a suture site at home is an example of
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wpersonal responsibility for health, but it is not focused on the health of the greater
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wcommunity. Participating in a videoconference call with a hospital client who lives
W W W W W W W W W W W


Win a remote area is an example of hospital client-centered care and of an effective
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W


Wimplementation of technology, but it is not particularly related to public health.
