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, andcontinuous 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 hercare, and thus are not good examples of
patient-centered care.

, 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 erroron the part of the client's primary care provider
or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client's health.
