Patient Centered Care Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who has limited health literacy. Which strategy should the nurse use to enhance culturally competent care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should provide written materials that are at an appropriate reading level and use simple language, as this can help to improve the client's comprehension and retention of information, and reduce confusion and anxiety. The written materials should also be culturally relevant and sensitive, and include pictures, diagrams, or charts if possible.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following would be an expected outcome for a patient who is 12 hours status post hip replacement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 12 hours post-hip replacement, increased mobility and decreased pain (A) is realistic. B assumes a catheter (unlikely), C and D (walking, bathing) are premature, making A the expected outcome.
