MULTIPLE CHOICE
Origin: Chapter 1: Foundations Of Public Health Nursing, 1
1. A Nurse Is Striving To Practice Patient-Centered Care At A Hospital. Which Action
Best 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
C) Recording A Client's Signs And Symptoms In An Electronic Health Record
D) Performing Continuous Glucose Monitoring Of A Client While The Client Is In The
Hospital
ANS: A
Explanation:
Patient-Centered Care Considers Cultural Traditions, Personal Preferences, Values,
Families, And Lifestyles. Clients Become Active Participants In Their Own Care, And
Monitoring Health Becomes The Client's Responsibility. To Help Clients And Their
Healthcare Providers Make Better Decisions, The Agency For Healthcare Research And
Quality (AHRQ) Has Developed A Series Of Tools That Empower Clients And Assist
Providers In Achieving Desired Outcomes, Including Client-Reported Functional Status
Indicators. Computer-Assisted Robotic Surgical Techniques, Electronic Health Records,
And 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 Care, And Thus Are Not Good Examples Of Patient-Centered Care.
,B) While Important, This Option Focuses More On Educating The Patient About
Technological Advances Rather Than Empowering Them To Actively Engage In
Decisions About Their Own Care. It May Not Fully Reflect The Holistic And
Personalized Approach Of Patient-Centered Care.
C) This Action Is Part Of Healthcare Documentation And Is Essential For Maintaining
Patient Records. However, It Does Not Involve The Patient In Decision-Making Or
Encourage Active Participation In Their Care.
D) While This Is A Valuable Diagnostic Tool, It Is More About Monitoring The Patient’s
Condition And Less About Engaging Them In Decisions Or Reflecting On Their Health
Status.

2. A Nurse Is Caring For An Older Client Who Is Struggling To Manage Her Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus. The Nurse Should Recognize Which Social Determinants Of This
Client's Health? (Select All That Apply.)
A) Household Income Of $23,000 Per Year
B) Reading Level Of A Third Grader
C) Medication Ineffective Due To Error In Prescription
D) Originally From Sudan
E) No Family In The Area
ANS: A, B, D, E
Explanation:
The Social Conditions In Which People Live, Their Income, Social Status, Education,
Literacy, Home And Work Environment, Support Networks, Gender, Culture, And
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, Social, And Personal Resources Necessary To Attain And
Maintain Health. A Medical Error On The Part Of The Client's Primary Care Provider Or
Nurse Would Not Constitute A Social Determinant Of The Client's Health.
, C) While Medication Errors Can Affect Health Outcomes, This Is Not Considered A
Social Determinant Of Health. It Is A Medical Error And Pertains To The Healthcare
System, Not The Social Or Environmental Conditions That Shape Health Outcomes.
Origin: Chapter 1: Foundations Of Public Health Nursing, 3
3. A Nurse Successfully Persuades An Obese Client To Perform A Weekly Weigh-In At
Home Using A Digital Scale And Record The Weight In A Log. This Strategy Is An
Example Of:
A) Telehealth
B) Health Information Technology
C) Personal Responsibility For Health
D) Evidence-Based Nursing
ANS: C
Explanation:
Personal Responsibility For Health Involves Active Participation In One's Own Health
Through Education And Lifestyle Changes. In This Case, The Client Makes A Positive
Change In Lifestyle By Monitoring Body Weight Weekly. Telehealth Is The Use Of
Electronic Information And Telecommunications Technologies To Support Long-
Distance Clinical Healthcare, Client And Professional Health-Related Education, Public
Health, And Health Administration. Health Information Technology (HIT) Is Defined As
The Comprehensive Management Of Health Information And Its Exchange Between
Consumers, Providers, Government, And Insurers In A Secure Manner. Evidence-Based
Nursing Is The Integration Of The Best Evidence Available With Clinical Expertise And
The Values Of The Client To Increase The Quality Of Care.
A) Telehealth Refers To The Use Of Electronic Communication And Information
Technologies To Deliver Healthcare Services Remotely. This Could Involve Virtual
Consultations, Health Education, Or Remote Monitoring, But The Example Described
Involves In-Person Management Of Health, Not Remote Healthcare Delivery.
B) While The Digital Scale Could Be Seen As A Tool Related To Health Information
Technology, HIT Generally Refers To The Infrastructure For Storing, Sharing, And
