Evaluating available evidence to guide clinical care guidelines d. Monitoring mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia e.

The “Ask Me 3” tool teaches patients to ask three primary questions about their health care and management. REF: Health Literacy Assessment 2. A female patient who is from the Middle East schedules an appointment in a primary care office. To provide culturally responsive care, what will the clinic personnel do when meeting this patient for the first time? a. Ensure that she is seen by a female provider b. Include a male family member in discussions about health care c. Inquire about the patient’s beliefs about health and treatment d. Research middle eastern cultural beliefs about health care ANS: C It is important not to make assumptions about beliefs and practices associated with health care and to ask the patient about these.

Gather and record a three-generation pedigree c. Order a genetic test for the breast cancer gene d. Recommend direct-to-consumer genetic testing ANS: B The three-generation pedigree is the best way to evaluate genetic risk. Asking about a family history is not a systematic risk assessment and doesn’t specify who in the family has the history or whether there is a pattern. Genetic testing and DTC genetic testing are not the initial actions when assessing genetic risk. REF: Gathering a Family History 2. A patient asks about direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing. What will the provider tell the patient? a. It is not useful for identifying genetic diseases. b. Much of the information does not predict disease risk. c. The results are shared with the patient’s insurance company. d. The results must be interpreted by a provider. ANS: B DTC testing gives a lot of information, but much of it does not contribute to disease prediction, since mutations are not necessarily related to specific diseases. The tests are useful, but must be interpreted accurately. The results are confidential and do not have to be interpreted by a provider. REF: Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Genetic Testing Buttaro: Primary Care, A Collaborative Practice, 5th Ed. Chapter 8: Risk Management Test Bank Multiple Choice 1.

What is an important part of patient care that can minimize the risk of a formal patient complaint even when a mistake is made? a. Ensuring informed consent for all procedures b. Maintaining effective patient communication c. Monitoring patient compliance and adherence d.
