and Processes of Person-Centered Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
When implementing a thoughtful, patient-centered care plan, which action does the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Although developing a thoughtful, patient-centered approach is focused on caring and mutual trust, the nurse uses the nursing process and Maslow's hierarchy of needs to prioritize care. Safety is a higher-level need than love and belonging, and therefore the priority.
Question 2 of 5
An oncology nurse is analyzing a patient's strengths and finds the patient is well educated, learns quickly, and is resilient. In which phase of the nursing process will the nurse use this information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing for strengths and weaknesses is the first step of the nursing process, which has been completed. Next, the nurse clusters cues and develops diagnoses that give rise to interventions. Evaluating the plan is followed by completing or modifying the plan.
Question 3 of 5
A nursing student is committed to providing thoughtful, person-centered care. Which nursing actions demonstrate this type of care? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The nursing process ensures that nurses are person centered rather than task centered. Attending to cultural preferences and needs and listening to a patient's concerns are patient-centered actions. Documentation and communication with other members of the health care team are not specifically patient centered.
Question 4 of 5
A patient who is receiving cancer chemotherapy tells the nurse, 'The treatment for this cancer is worse than the disease itself. I'm stopping treatment.' Which nursing action best promotes a patient-centered, therapeutic relationship?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reassessing the patient allows the nurse and patient to clarify the patient's goal(s) and develop interventions to best meet them. Once the problem is addressed, it is important for the nurse to judge the adequacy of the knowledge, identify potential problems, use helpful resources, and critique the decision.
Question 5 of 5
The nursing philosophy in an acute care hospital includes a commitment to deliver thoughtful, person-centered care. Which description of the nursing process best supports this commitment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Interpersonal. All other options are characteristics of the nursing process but focus on the patient best illustrates the interpersonal dimension of the nursing process.
