The practice of patient-centered care in modern clinical
medicine most strongly emphasizes which nursing action?
A. Following physician orders without clarification
B. Eliciting the patient’s values, preferences, and goals before
planning care
C. Prioritizing institutional efficiency over individual preferences
D. Applying a standard care pathway to every patient with the

A. Reporting only individual patient data to public health
B. Individual health education without screening programs
,C. Coordinating community-based prevention programs and
education

A. Dismiss concerns and proceed with vaccination immediately
B. Provide empathetic listening, elicit specific concerns, and
offer evidence-based information
C. Refuse care if the parent refuses vaccination
D. Tell the parent that refusal will lead to legal consequences
Answer: B
Rationale: Addressing vaccine hesitancy starts with empathy
and exploring concerns; nurses should provide clear, evidence-
based information to support informed decisions.

and Hesitancy
In shared decision-making for a high-risk procedure, the
nurse’s most important contribution is to:
A. Make the final choice if the patient is indecisive
B. Ensure the patient understands risks, benefits, and
, alternatives and document comprehension
C. Only follow the surgeon’s informed consent form
D. Encourage the patient to avoid asking questions to speed the
process
Answer: B
Rationale: Nurses facilitate informed consent by ensuring
patient understanding and documenting comprehension,
supporting ethical decision-making.

Clinical Medicine
Which statement best reflects the role of precision medicine
in nursing care?
A. Precision medicine only involves ordering genomic tests.
B. It supports tailoring prevention and treatment based on
individual genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, guiding
nursing assessment and education.
C. It eliminates the need for shared decision-making.
D. It replaces standard clinical assessment entirely.
Answer: B
Rationale: Precision medicine informs individualized risk
assessment and interventions; nurses must interpret
implications for care planning and patient counseling.
