3. Adheres to principles of client privacy
4. Care is organized around the client's needs
5. Partnering with the client and families occurs

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5

Patient-centered care is defined as care organized around the patient. It is an approach to health care (planning, delivery, and evaluation) that is grounded in partnering with patients and families, and is built on the core concepts of dignity and respect, information sharing, participation, and collaboration. Client autonomy and client privacy are basic care principles that are not specifically identified with patient-centered care.
