Answer:

A. Empowers the patient

Explanation:

Patient-centered care is a type of medical care that takes into consideration the needs, decisions, and values of the patient. The family is equally catered for and given consideration during the period of care. The patients should be properly briefed of all the treatment plans needed for their care. Medical terms that might seem difficult to comprehend should be explained and the implications of the diagnosis described. While this is done, the patient's emotional and physical needs should not be left unattended.

So, in all, patient-centered care empowers the patient and makes him the focus of the care.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

C. Acute Epiglottitis

Explanation:

Before explaining why C is the correct answer, let's look at why the others are <u>not</u> correct:

  • A. GABHS is a bacterial infection that is a type of streptococcus (aka Strep). It is also the most common cause of Tonsillitis! Symptoms of GABHS typically include: Sore Throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and  tonsillar exudates. It sounds very like what we're looking for, but notice drooling isn't a symptom found with this one!
  • B. Acute Tracheitis is inflammation of the trachea often resulting from a bacterial infection. Symptoms of this condition are more breathing-related such as severe dry cough, wheezing, and even shortness of breath and cyanosis. Not what we're looking at.
  • D. Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis is a common disease found in young children that is more commonly known as Croup. This disease is most often characterized by a "barking cough." Other symptoms include fever, stridor and hoarseness.

Now, WHY is C the correct answer?:

Acute Epiglottitis is, like croup, commonly found in younger children and is defined as inflammation of the epiglottis (the flap that covers the trachea when swallowing). It is often characterized by fever, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and (more specifically) drooling! The drooling coupled with the clear bilateral breath sounds and absence of a cough help to diagnose this illness.
