Action BestExemplifies Providing Patient-Centered Care?
A) Having A Client Complete A Self-Reported Functional Status Indicator
And ThenReviewing It With The Client
B) Explaining To A Client The Benefits Of Computer-Assisted Robotic
SurgicalTechniques, 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 TheHospital
Ans: 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.

Or Nurse Would Not Constitute A Social Determinant Of The Client's Health.

ChangeIn Lifestyle By Monitoring Body Weight Weekly. Telehealth Is The Use Of
Electronic Information And Telecommunications Technologies To Support Long-
Distance Clinical Healthcare, Client And Professional Health-Related Education,
Public Health, And Health Administration. Health Information Technology (HIT) Is

Between Consumers, Providers, Government, And Insurers In A Secure Manner.

C) Participating In A Videoconference Call With A Client Who Lives In A Remote
Area
D) Facilitating A Community-Wide Smoking Cessation Program One Month Out
Of TheYear

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 SocietyTo Improve The 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 An Example Of Personal
Responsibility For Health, But It Is Not Focused On The Health Of The Greater
Community. Participating In A Videoconference Call With A Client Who Lives In A
Remote Area Is An Example Of Patient-Centered Care And Of An Effective
Implementation Of Technology, But It Is Not Particularly Related To Public Health.
