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



bestexemplifies providing patient-centered care?
ju ju ju ju ju



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



thenreviewing it with the client
ju ju ju ju ju ju



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



surgicaltechniques, which the hospital recently implemented
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju



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



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



thehospital ju ju



Ans: A ju



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju



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



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



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



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



C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription ju ju ju ju ju ju



D) Originally from Sudan ju ju



E) No family in the ju ju ju



areaAns: A, B, D, E

Feedback:

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



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



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



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



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



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



social determinant of the client's health.

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



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



of:
ju



A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology ju ju



C) Personal responsibility for health ju ju ju



D) Evidence-based
nursingAns: C
ju ju ju



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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.
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju



Whichtask best exemplifies public health?
ju ju ju ju ju ju



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



dailypractice
ju ju



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



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



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



theyear ju ju



Ans: D ju



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



related to public health.
