A diagram shows a patient and family at the center with various health professionals contributing to the plan of care. What concept is this describing?

• A. Health Care Team
• B. Medical Model
• C. Patient Rights
• D. Health Promotion

Answer: (A)

This illustrates a health care team approach, where professionals from different disciplines collaborate around the patient and family to plan and coordinate the care. Seeing the patient at the center with multiple providers contributing to the plan shows how care is drawn from various expertise and shared decision-making, which is the essence of working as a team to support the patient’s needs.

The other options don’t fit as well. A medical model tends to be more provider-centered and disease-focused rather than showing a collaborative, team-based plan. Patient rights concern the individual’s autonomy and protections in care decisions. Health promotion focuses on activities to improve overall health and prevent illness, not specifically the interprofessional planning of individual care.
