Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical techniques, electronic health records, and continuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more active participant in his or her care, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Their three-pronged approach included addressing norms (what is acceptable in the community), availability, and enforcement. Enforcement was a critical part of this plan because it would include not only reducing teen's access to alcohol, but also communicating the community's standards for acceptable behavior, and could be designed to focus on preventing high-risk behavior, such as binge drinking at outdoor keg parties. Access was also addressed by issuing citations to adults who furnished alcohol to minors.
