Patient Centered Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the implementation of a bowel training program for a client. For the program to be effective, the nurse should take the client to the bathroom at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bowel training is most effective when timed to coincide with the client's natural urge to defecate, promoting a routine and reducing the risk of constipation or incontinence. Before meals (A) does not align with the natural defecation reflex, every 2 hours (B) ignores individual patterns, and after cramping (D) may indicate delayed response rather than optimal timing.
Question 2 of 5
Which action by the nurse demonstrates the best practice for nursing documentation on a computerized record?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Documenting at the point of care ensures accuracy and timeliness, the best practice for computerized records. Deleting errors (A) compromises integrity, red font (B) is non-standard, and end-of-shift summaries (C) risk omissions.
Question 3 of 5
The physician prescribes warfarin (Coumadin) 15 mg daily. The nurse notes that this is three times the normal dose for this client based on the client's medication profile and laboratory work. What does the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calling the physician first ensures safety by clarifying a potentially erroneous dose. Giving the dose (A) risks harm, consulting the pharmacy (B) delays direct resolution, and holding (D) without communication is unsafe.
Question 4 of 5
A client has metastatic lung cancer and is hospitalized for chemotherapy. Which intervention does the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel? ((Select ONE that does not apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: UAP can assist with repositioning (A), take vital signs (C), and record intake/output (D). Teaching (B) and promoting grief expression (E) require nursing expertise and cannot be delegated.
Question 5 of 5
Which action by the nurse working with a client best demonstrates respect for autonomy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asking about questions before consent ensures informed decision-making, vital for autonomy. Giving information (B) supports veracity, keeping promises (C) upholds fidelity, and fair treatment (D) reflects justice, but none directly address autonomy as A does.
