Patient Centered Care Test Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with the parents of an infant who has a prescription for home oxygen and pulse oximetry monitoring. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A consistent reading of 100% is likely inaccurate, as it suggests potential equipment malfunction or improper placement, especially in a client requiring supplemental oxygen where saturation is rarely 100%. This indicates a need for further teaching as the parents should recognize this as abnormal and report it. Choices A, B, and C reflect correct understanding of pulse oximetry use.
Question 2 of 5
Which action best demonstrates the nurse using client-centered care when planning a menu for a Vietnamese client who is newly diagnosed with diabetes?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Researching Vietnamese culture before meal planning shows a client-centered approach by respecting cultural preferences and tailoring care. Asking the client (A) or family (B) about a standard menu or ordering a typical meal (C) does not prioritize cultural relevance.
Question 3 of 5
An emergency department (ED) nurse gives report on a client who is being transferred to the medical-surgical floor. Because of an identified risk for suicide, the ED nurse suggests that the floor nurse contact a sitter and behavioral health. This statement represents which part of the SBAR hand-off?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Suggesting a sitter and behavioral health contact is a recommendation for action, fitting the 'R' in SBAR. It does not describe the situation (A), background (B), or assessment (C).

Question 5 of 5
A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit. The preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a professional nurse?

Rationale: Ensuring client safety is the priority, as errors can lead to significant harm (e.g., 98,000 deaths yearly per the 2000 IOM report). Holistic needs (A), avoiding errors (C), and client-focused care (D) are important but secondary to safety.
