The best way to support patient-centered care in this situation is to work with the admitting department to find a room that meets the patient's preferences. This demonstrates the nurse's commitment to advocating for the patient's individual needs and preferences, which is a key component of patient-centered care. Simply telling the charge nurse or suggesting the patient focus on getting well does not address the patient's expressed needs and desires, and explaining that no other rooms are available does not offer any potential solutions or avenues for resolution.
