Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families, b b b b b b b b
and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
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
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
series of tools that empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
including client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical
b b b b b b b b
techniques, electronic health records, and continuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are
b b b b b b b b b b b b
all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
active participant in his or her care, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of health

Feedback:
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
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of electronic information and

telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical healthcare, client and
b b b b b b b b b
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

Feedback:
Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in which people

can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a great example of a

public health intervention, in that it involves the collective effort of society to improve the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
health of its members. Reading and applying the latest nursing research is an example of

evidence-based nursing. Instructing a client on how to best care for a suture site at home is
