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.
