Patient Centered Care Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client from India is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is prescribed a low-carbohydrate diet. The nurse reviews the client's food preferences and notes that the client eats rice, chapati (flatbread), and dal (lentil soup) daily. Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse provides an appropriate response by acknowledging the client's food preferences and offering guidance on how to adjust them to meet the dietary requirements for diabetes management. The nurse does not impose or eliminate the client's cultural foods, but rather suggests ways to incorporate them into a balanced and healthy diet.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning a health promotion program for a group of clients who are refugees from Syria. The nurse wants to incorporate some culturally relevant strategies to enhance the clients' participation and engagement. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should use a variety of culturally relevant strategies to enhance the clients' participation and engagement in the health promotion program. Inviting a religious leader, including traditional Syrian dishes, and using Arabic words show respect for the clients' faith, culinary heritage, and language, building rapport and trust.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has recently immigrated from China and does not speak English. Which action by the nurse demonstrates cultural competence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse demonstrates cultural competence by using an interpreter to communicate with the client and family, ensuring that the information is conveyed accurately and respectfully, and that the client's preferences and needs are understood.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement by the nurse illustrates how a RN's patient assessment differs from the LPNs patient assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The RN’s role involves comprehensive assessment and interpretation of patient data as a whole (C), unlike the LPN, who collects basic data for RN interpretation. Option A reverses roles, B limits RN duties to basic care (an LPN task), and D, while true, is not unique to RNs, as LPNs also report findings, making C the key differentiator.
Question 5 of 5
An RN team leader has one LPN and one medical assistant assigned to the unit. Which patient would be most appropriate to assign to the LPN?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: LPNs can manage stable patients with routine care (D), like monitoring a stroke patient on continuous feedings, within their scope. A, B, and C require RN-level assessment and intervention due to instability (fever, chest pain, low Hgb/Hct), making D the most appropriate assignment.
