Patient Centered Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and follows a vegetarian diet. Which of the following food choices should the nurse recommend as a good source of protein for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tofu is a good source of protein for clients who follow a vegetarian diet, as it is made from soybeans, which are high in protein and low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Tofu can also help lower blood glucose levels, as it has a low glycemic index and can improve insulin sensitivity.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is planning care for a patient with hypertension and obesity. Which of the following is a reasonable and measurable outcome for the nursing diagnosis of noncompliance with treatment regimen related to side effects of medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A reasonable, measurable outcome specifies action and timeline (A), like stating two modifications by a date, addressing noncompliance. B is vague (compliance undefined), C lacks measurement (understanding unquantified), and D is unrealistic (BP fluctuations occur), making A appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a measurable outcome for the patient who has undergone a surgical procedure with a pain rating of 7 on a scale of 0 to 10?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A measurable outcome specifies degree and time (D), e.g., pain to 2 or lower by shift’s end. A (under control) and C (decrease) are vague, B (no pain) is unrealistic, making D the precise, evaluable goal.
Question 4 of 5
Determine which example is true of measurability within the context of the nursing diagnosis.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measurability requires specific, evaluable criteria (A), like listing infection signs by shift’s end. B links outcomes (not measurable), C is data, and D is intervention, making A the true example.
Question 5 of 5
An example of an intervention independently initiated by the nurse is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Teaching plans (A) are independent RN functions, unlike B, C, and D, which require physician orders (diet, labs, meds). A reflects RN autonomy, making it correct.
