Patient Centered Care Questions Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
An RN is making assignments on a medical-surgical unit. Which patient could the RN assign to a float RN from the maternity unit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A stable COPD/pneumonia patient (A) is suitable for a float RN from maternity, requiring basic care. B (unstable HR), C (low BP post-surgery), and D (neutropenia) need advanced skills, making A the safest assignment.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to remove a client's urinary catheter. After performing hand hygiene, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positioning the client supine provides comfort and optimal exposure for catheter removal while maintaining safety and minimizing contamination risk. Deflating the balloon halfway (A) risks urethral trauma, bearing down (C) is unnecessary and unrelated to catheter removal, and cleansing with antiseptic (D) is more appropriate before insertion rather than after removal, where soap and water suffice.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia and has been receiving oxygen therapy for several days. When collecting data from the client, the nurse should identify which of the following findings as an indication of an adverse effect of oxygen therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prolonged oxygen therapy can dry the mucous membranes, leading to cracks, discomfort, and increased infection risk, making this an adverse effect. Tachycardia (A) is more associated with hypoxia, excessive secretions (B) relate to the pneumonia itself, and poor skin turgor (C) indicates dehydration, not a direct effect of oxygen therapy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is initiating a series of teaching sessions with an older client. What is the nurse's highest-priority, client-centered action before beginning the session?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ensuring the client wears glasses prioritizes their ability to see and engage, making it the highest client-centered action. Family presence (A), handouts (C), and timing (D) are secondary to ensuring the client can participate effectively.
Question 5 of 5
Which intervention can the client expect to receive from a medical-surgical nurse in an ambulatory care setting?
