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

hospital

Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions personal preferences values
x x x
families and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care and
x x
monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their
healthcare providers make better decisions the Agency for Healthcare Research and
x
Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and assist
providers in achieving desired outcomes including client-reported functional status
x
indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical techniques electronic health records and
x x
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
x
care and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical x
social and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical error
x
on the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social
determinant of the client's health.
