Patient Centered Care Test Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient with pneumonia has been using the incentive spirometer four times daily while awake during his 3-day hospitalization. How would the nurse explore the effectiveness of this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Effectiveness is evaluated objectively by auscultating lungs (D) for reduced adventitious sounds, indicating spirometer success. A (subjective), B (new intervention), and C (observation) don’t assess outcomes, making D the best method.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client. The client has an increased risk for dehydration due to which of the following physiological changes that can occur with aging?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aging decreases kidney function, reducing the ability to concentrate urine and regulate fluid balance, increasing dehydration risk. Decreased systolic blood pressure (A) is incorrect as aging often increases it, increased body water (C) is false as it decreases with age, and increased saliva production (D) is incorrect as it typically reduces.
Question 4 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 5 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).
