Question 1 of 5
A clinical instructor is evaluating a student nurse's capability to promote patient engagement. Which of the student's actions indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advising the patient on which treatment options they should select indicates a need for further teaching. This approach undermines patient autonomy and does not align with the principles of patient-centered care. Instead of making decisions for the patient, the nurse should facilitate informed decision-making by providing comprehensive information and supporting the patient in evaluating their options. This empowers patients to take an active role in their healthcare decisions. Assessing understanding, scheduling visits, and explaining rationales all promote engagement.
