A) The care team meets with the client and family promptly to identify their preferences for treatment.
B) The care team balances the best available evidence about glioblastoma treatment with the client's preferences.
C) Nurses proactively identify threats to the client's safety that may occur as treatment is provided.
D) Each member of the care team uses the best available technology to organize and provide care.
E) Treatments are chosen with the goal of minimizing the financial burden on the health care institution.

Answer 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Meeting with the family exemplifies client-centered care. Evidence-based practice includes research evidence as well as client preferences. Safety is a QSEN competency, as is informatics (the effective use of technology). Financial concerns of the health care institution are not included among the six QSEN competencies.
