d. Thoroughly ll orients the client and family to the room ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
CORRECT ANSWER: A ll ll
Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nurse focuses ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll on communication, culture, respect compassion, client education, and
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
empowerment. By assessing the effect of the clients culture on health
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
about all upcoming tests is not providing empowering education.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Orienting the client and family to the room is an important safety measure,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll but not directly related to demonstrating client-centered care.
