1. A nurse is striving to practice patient-centered care at a hospital. Which action
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



bestexemplifies providing patient-centered care?
kr kr kr kr kr



A) Having a client complete a self-reported functional status indicator and kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



thenreviewing it with the client
kr kr kr kr kr kr



B) Explaining to a client the benefits of computer-assisted robotic kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



surgicaltechniques, which the hospital recently implemented
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



C) Recording a client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a client while the client is in kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



thehospital kr kr



Ans: A kr



Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and assist
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-reported functional status
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical techniques, electronic health records,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are all technological advances in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more active participant in his or
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



hercare, 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
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinants of this client's
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



health?(Select all that apply.)
kr kr kr kr kr



A) Household income of $23,000 per year kr kr kr kr kr



B) Reading level of a third grader kr kr kr kr kr

D) Originally from Sudan kr kr



E) No family in the kr kr kr

Feedback:
kr



The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



erroron the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



social determinant of the client's health.

,3. A nurse successfully persuades an obese client to perform a weekly weigh-in at
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



homeusing a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an example
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



of:
kr



A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology kr kr



C) Personal responsibility for health kr kr kr



D) Evidence-based
nursingAns: C
kr kr kr



Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



changein lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



clinical healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public health, and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



health administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined as the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



comprehensive management of health information and its exchange between
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner. Evidence-based
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



nursing is the integrationof the best evidence available with clinical expertise and the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



values of the client to increase the quality of care.

4. A nurse performs a variety of tasks as part of the nurse's position at a hospital.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



Whichtask best exemplifies public health?
kr kr kr kr kr kr



A) Reading current nursing journals and integrating the latest research into kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



dailypractice

B) Instructing a client on how to best care for a suture site at home kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



C) Participating in a videoconference call with a client who lives in a remote area kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



D) Facilitating a community-wide smoking cessation program one month out of kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



theyear kr kr



Ans: D kr



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



people can be healthy. A community-wide smoking cessation program is a great
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



example of a public health intervention, in that it involves the collective effort of
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



societyto improve the health of its members. Reading and applying the latest nursing
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



research is an example of evidence-based nursing. Instructing a client on how to best
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



care for a suture site at home is an example of personal responsibility for health, but it
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



is not focused on the health of the greater community. Participating in a
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



videoconference call with a client who lives in a remote area is an example of patient-
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



centered care and of an effective implementation of technology, but it is not particularly
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



related to public health.
