• What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?
• Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
• Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
• Determining the patients mental status
• Exploring patient responses to health problems
PRECISE ANSWER:-D
REASONING:->>> A nursing assessment is done to identify the patients
response to health problems. During the nursing assessment phase, a
comprehensive information base is developed through a physical
examination, nursing history, medication history, and professional
observation. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the
physician in identifyingmedical conditions is not part of the nursing process.
Determining the patients mental status is one part of the nursing assessment,
but it is not the primary purpose.

• What is the basis of the NANDA I taxonomy?
• Functional health patterns
• Human response patterns
• Basic human needs
• Pathophysiologic needs
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
REASONING:->>> The NANDA I taxonomy identifies human
response patterns. Functional components of health patterns are limited
to activity, fluid volume, nutrition, self care, and sensory perception. Basic
human needs comprise less than merely health patterns. Pathophysiologic
needs arenot part of the scope of NANDA I.

• What do the classification systems NIC and NOC provide?
• Individualized data banks of treatments related to disease processes
• Standardized language for reporting and analyzing nursing care delivery
• A measure for cost containment within medical institutions
• Specialized interventions for rare diseases
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
REASONING:->>> Nursing classification systems such as NIC and NOC are
designed to provide a standardized language for reporting and
analyzing nursing care delivery that is individualized for each patient.
Standardized terminology assists practitioners in the implementation of the
five phases of the nursingprocess. Classification systems are not related to
disease process and are not used for financial purposes. Classification
systems include interventions for all health conditions.

• Which type of nursing diagnosis will be written when the patient
exhibits factors that makes him or her susceptible to the
development of a problem?
• Actual diagnosis
• Risk diagnosis
• Possible diagnosis
• Wellness diagnosis
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
REASONING:->>> When patients have the potential or risk for a problem
to develop, a risk diagnosis is written. These diagnoses are two part
statements such as Riskfor falls related to unsteady gait. An actual
diagnosis consists of a NANDA diagnostic label, contributing factor (if
known), and defining characteristics such as signs and symptoms. A possible
nursing diagnosis
