MULTIPLE CHOICE /f




1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse that
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/f heis ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priorityat this time?
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f



a. Determine the patient‘s personal data /f /f /f /f


andinsurance coverage. /f /f /f



b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


waitingroom until his name is called.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f



c. Request that a nurse collect data for /f /f /f /f /f /f


acomprehensive history.
/f /f /f



d. Ask a nurse to start a focused
/f /f /f /f /f /f


assessmentof this patient now.
/f /f /f /f /f



ANSWER: D /f


The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


patient‘scardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


also drivenby patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient is assessed. Based also on
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


to determinethe patient‘s health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


assessment is made to analyze the patient‘s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


indicated in this situation at this time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


allergies and medical history related to cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


musculoskeletal or mental health assessment is not a priority at this time.

2. Which situation illustrates a screening assessment?
/f /f /f /f /f


a. A patient visits an obstetric clinic for the /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


localmall and provides cholesterol and /f /f /f /f /f /f

A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is an
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


exampleof a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient complaining of leg pain in
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


the triage area of an urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


assessment. A patient‘s return appointment 1 month after today‘s office visit to report
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


fasting blood glucose levels is an example of an episodic or follow-up assessment.
