1. A nursing attendant is striving to practice hospital client-centered care at a health
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



center. Whichaction best exemplifies providing hospital client-centered care?
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



A) Having a hospital client complete a self-reported functional status 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



indicator andthen reviewing it with the hospital client
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



B) Explaining to a hospital client the benefits of computer-assisted 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



robotic surgical techniques, which the health center recently
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



implemented 9i



C) Recording a hospital client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a hospital client while the 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



hospital client is inthe health center
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



ACCURATE ANSWER:-A 9i



Reasoning :->> 9i



Hospital client-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



families, and lifestyles. Hospital clients become active participants in their own care,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



and monitoring health becomes the hospital client's responsibility. To help hospital
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



clients and their healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower hospital
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including hospital client-
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical techniques,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



electronic health records, andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the health center are all
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the hospital client become a
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



more active participant in his or her care, and thus are not good examples of hospital
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



client-centered care.

2. A nursing attendant is caring for an older hospital client who is struggling to
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



manage her type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nursing attendant should recognize
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



which social determinants of thishospital client's health? (Select all that apply.)
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



A) Household income of $23,000 per year 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



B) Reading level of a third grader 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



D) Originally from Sudan 9i 9i



E) No family in the 9i 9i 9i



area
9i ACCURATE 9i



ANSWER:-A, B,D, E
9i 9i 9i 9i



Reasoning:->>
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical erroron
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



the part of the hospital client's primary care provider or nursing attendant would not
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



constitute a social determinant of the hospital client's health.

3. A nursing attendant successfully persuades an obese hospital client to perform a
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



weekly weigh-in athome using a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



strategy is an exampleof:

B) Health information technology 9i 9i



C) Personal responsibility for health 9i 9i 9i



D) Evidence-based
nursingACCURATE
9i 9i



ANSWER:-C Reasoning:-
9i 9i



>>
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the hospital client makes a
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



positive change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



distance clinical healthcare, hospital client and professional health-related education,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



public health, andhealth administration. Health information technology (HIT) is
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



defined as the comprehensive management of health information and its exchange
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



between consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



Evidence-based nursing is the integration of the best evidence available with clinical
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



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
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



position at a healthcenter. Which task best exemplifies public health?
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



dailypractice 9i 9i



B) Instructing a hospital client on how to best care for a suture site at home 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



C) Participating in a videoconference call with a hospital client who lives in a remote area 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



theyear 9i 9i



ACCURATE ANSWER:-D 9i



Reasoning:->>
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in which
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a great
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective effort of
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the latest nursing
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a hospital client on how
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



to best care for a suture site at home is an example of personal responsibility for health,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



but it is not focused on the health of the greater community. Participating in a
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



videoconference call with a hospital client who lives in a remote area is an example of
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



hospital client-centered care and of an effective implementation of technology, but it is
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



not particularly related to public health.
