Question 1 (MCQ)
Clinical Scenario

,A nurse is caring for a patient newly diagnosed with heart
failure. During discharge teaching, the patient states, "I am
worried about how this condition will affect my daily life."
Question Stem

of patient-centered care?

A. Providing the patient with standardized discharge
instructions
B. Asking the patient about personal goals and incorporating
them into the care plan
C. Scheduling follow-up appointments according to facility
protocol
D. Teaching only the information required by the physician
Correct Answer

them into the care plan
Detailed Rationale
Patient-centered care emphasizes respect for patient
preferences, values, and needs. Collaboratively developing a
care plan based on the patient's goals promotes engagement,
adherence, and individualized care.

individualize care.

centered care.

C: Following protocol supports continuity but does not
prioritize patient preferences.
 Misconception: Organizational processes alone ensure
patient-centered care.

patient concerns.

missed.
