Chapter 1: Public Health Nursing
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
ANSWER: A
Feedback:
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.

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
