ANS: A
Competency in client-focused care is demonstrated when the nursefocuses on communication,
culture, respect compassion, client education, and empowerment. By assessing the effect of the
clients culture on health care, this nurse is practicing client-focused care. Providing for basic
needs does not demonstrate this competence. Simply telling the client about all upcoming tests is
not providing empowering education.
Orienting the client andfamily to theroom is animportantsafetymeasure,

pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly significant. Documentation is vital,
