Questions 1–15: Nursing Process, Health Assessment & Communication
1 At a clinic, the nurse is interviewing a client and asking about his lifestyle, social support, and normal activities of
daily living. This assessment is an example of:
A Disease management assessment
B Musculoskeletal assessment
C Fall-risk assessment
D Health assessment
Why D is correct: A health assessment is a systematic method of collecting data about a client for determining current
and ongoing health status, predicting risks, and identifying health-promoting activities. It includes lifestyle, social support, and
ADLs.
2 The nurse is assessing a client's smoking behavior. The client wants to stop smoking but needs help. Which nursing
theory would best support the care this client needs?
A Health promotion model
B Ecologic model
C Clinical model
D Eudaemonistic model
Why A is correct: The Health Promotion Model focuses on helping individuals achieve higher levels of well-being
through behavior change. It is ideal for a client who expresses desire to change a health behavior (smoking cessation) and needs
support.
3 After completing the health history, the nurse begins to ask more detailed questions to clarify points and follow up
on concerns. This portion of the health assessment is:
A Informal teaching
B Objective data
C Focused interview
D Interpretation of findings
Why C is correct: A focused interview enables the nurse to clarify points, obtain missing information, and follow up on
verbal and nonverbal cues identified during the health history.
, 4 During the health assessment, the nurse reviews the client's laboratory data. This is an example of:
A Constant data
B A primary source of information
C Subjective data
D A secondary source of information
Why D is correct: Laboratory data, medical records, and reports from family members are secondary sources. The client
is the primary source of information.
5 After conducting the health interview, the nurse begins to measure the client's vital signs. The nurse is collecting:
A Subjective data
B Objective data
C Secondary data
D Constant data
Why B is correct: Objective data are observed or measured by the nurse — vital signs, physical examination findings,
laboratory results. Subjective data are what the client reports (symptoms).
6 The nurse is documenting findings from a health assessment. Which demonstrates documentation of subjective
information?
A "It hurts when I put weight on my leg."
B Abdomen soft and nontender to palpation
C Blood pressure 110/68
D "Pulses present in lower extremities"
Why A is correct: Subjective data are the client's own words describing symptoms or experiences — what the client tells
you. Options B, C, and D are objective findings measured or observed by the nurse.
7 The nurse begins to document approximately three hours after completing the health and physical assessment.
Which might be true about this documentation?
A It will be highly accurate because the nurse has had more time to interact with the client.
B It may not be as detailed due to the time that has elapsed since the assessment.
C It will be focused and concise.
D It will be thorough and complete.
Why B is correct: Delayed documentation increases the risk of omitted or inaccurate details. Documentation should
occur as soon as possible after assessment to ensure accuracy and completeness.
