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, 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.
