Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By including the patient in every aspect of care, the nurse is empowering them to take an active role in promoting their own health. This can lead to increased self-care behaviors and better health outcomes. Coordinating all of a patient's health care (A) and focusing on their anxiety and fears (B) may be important aspects of nursing care, but they do not directly empower the patient. Motivating patient behavior through description of negative outcomes (D) is a fear-based approach that may not be effective in the long term.
