Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Patient-centered care requires the nurse to understand patient and family preferences and values. Nurses must recognize patients' expectations for care and provide care with respect for the diversity of human experience. While interpreting data, the nurse must be careful to avoid inaccurate inferences (i.e., conclusions) based on the nurse's personal preferences, past experiences, generalizations, or outdated and inaccurate health care information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
An in-depth health history includes all pertinent information that can guide the development of a patient-centered plan of care. The health history includes demographic data, which are collected during the orientation phase of the interview; a patient's chief complaint or reason for seeking health care; history of current illness; allergies; medications; adverse reactions to medications; medical history; family and social history; and health promotion practices. Because a patient's health history is continuously evolving, the data collection is ongoing, progressive, and methodical.
