Answer to Question 1

2, 4
Explanation: 1. This is the traditional approach to healthcare in which the experts know all and plan without regard to the patient's opinions.
2. This statement allows the patient choice in planning and self-direction in care.
3. The person making this statement has assumed the patient wants apple juice today. This is not patient-centered care.
4. This statement reflects achievement of a patient request.
5. This statement makes poor use of the patient's time, assuming that all the patient has to do is come back to the office tomorrow. Typically, lab results can be communicated over the telephone, which is much more respectful of the patient's time.
