1. A nursing attendant is striving to practice hospital client-centered care at a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



health center. Whichaction best exemplifies providing hospital client-centered
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



care?
n1



A) Having a hospital client complete a self-reported functional status
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



indicator andthen reviewing it with the hospital client
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) Explaining to a hospital client the benefits of computer-assisted n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



robotic surgical techniques, which the health center recently
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



implemented n1



C) Recording a hospital client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a hospital client while the n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



hospital client is inthe health center
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



ACCURATE ANSWER:-A n1



Reasoning :->> n1



Hospital client-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



values, families, and lifestyles. Hospital clients become active participants in their
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



own care, and monitoring health becomes the hospital client's responsibility. To help
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



hospital clients and their healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



empower hospital clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



including hospital client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



robotic surgical techniques, electronic health records, andcontinuous glucose
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



monitoring in the health center are all technological advances in healthcare, but they
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



do not help the hospital client become a more active participant in his or her care,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



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
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



manage her type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nursing attendant should recognize
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



which social determinants of thishospital client's health? (Select all that apply.)
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) Household income of $23,000 per year n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



B) Reading level of a third grader n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) Originally from Sudan n1 n1



E) No family in the n1 n1 n1



area
n1 ACCURATE n1



ANSWER:-A, B,D, E
n1 n1 n1 n1



Reasoning:->>
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



physical, social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



medical erroron the part of the hospital client's primary care provider or nursing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



attendant would not constitute a social determinant of the hospital client's health.

3. A nursing attendant successfully persuades an obese hospital client to perform a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



weekly weigh-in athome using a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



strategy is an exampleof:
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology n1 n1



C) Personal responsibility for health n1 n1 n1



D) Evidence-based

ANSWER:-C Reasoning:-
n1 n1



>>
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the hospital client makes a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



positive change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



distance clinical healthcare, hospital client and professional health-related education,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



public health, andhealth administration. Health information technology (HIT) is
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



defined as the comprehensive management of health information and its exchange
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



between consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Evidence-based nursing is the integration of the best evidence available with clinical
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



expertise and the values of the hospital client to increase the quality of care.

4. A nursing attendant performs a variety of tasks as part of the nursing attendant's
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



position at a healthcenter. Which task best exemplifies public health?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



dailypractice n1 n1



B) Instructing a hospital client on how to best care for a suture site at home n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



C) Participating in a videoconference call with a hospital client who lives in a remote area n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



theyear n1 n1



ACCURATE ANSWER:-D n1



Reasoning:->>
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in which
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a great
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective effort of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the latest nursing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a hospital client on
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



how to best care for a suture site at home is an example of personal responsibility for
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



health, but it is not focused on the health of the greater community. Participating in a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



videoconference call with a hospital client who lives in a remote area is an example
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



of hospital client-centered care and of an effective implementation of technology, but
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



it is not particularly related to public health.
