Which action is consistent with person-centered practice?

• A. Offering choices when appropriate
• B. Forcing a single method
• C. Ignoring preferences
• D. Reducing privacy

Answer: (A)

Focusing on the individual’s preferences and autonomy guides person-centered practice. Offering choices when appropriate respects the person’s right to influence what happens and how it happens, which supports motivation, engagement, and dignity. Present clear options, ensure each option is doable, and allow the person to choose or decline. When you force a single method, ignore preferences, or reduce privacy, you undermine autonomy and respect for the person. Offering choices best aligns with person-centered practice.
