Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Family-centered care involves working collaboratively with families and considering their preferences and values in decision-making. Conferring with the family in deciding which healthcare option will be chosen shows a commitment to family-centered care. Options A and B are more aligned with a medical model of care, which is not as family-centered. Option C is related to family-focused care, which is important but does not necessarily involve collaboration with families in decision-making.
