EVALUATION QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
●● The clinical setting should consist of
Answer: Examination Room
Exam Table
Adequate lighting & adjust environment (thermostat)
Ensure the patient is comfortable
Provide privacy
●● Assessment
Answer: is the collection of subjective and objective data about a
patient's health. The purpose of is to make a judgment or diagnosis.
●● Subjective data
Answer: consist of information provided by the affected individual. It's
what the client says about themselves.
●● Objective data
Answer: include information obtained by the health care provider
through observation and inspecting, percussing, palpating, and
auscultating during the physical examination. •
,●● Four major components of Diagnostic Reasoning
Answer: Attending
Formulating diagnostic hypotheses
Gathering data
Evaluating each hypotheses
●● Database
Answer: is the totality of information available about the patient,
including subjective data, objective data, and the patient's medical
record and laboratory studies.
●● How is database formed?
Answer: by using Subjective data, Objective data, Laboratory test,
diagnostic test, and patient's chart.
●● Diagnostic reasoning
Answer: is the process of analyzing health data and drawing conclusions
to identify diagnoses.
●● Attending (Dx Reasoning)
Answer: to initially available cues, which are pieces of information,
signs, symptoms, or laboratory data;
,●● Formulating diagnostic hypotheses
(Dx Reasoning)
Answer: which are tentative explanations for a cue or a set of cues and
can serve as a basis for further investigation;
●● Gathering data (Dx Reasoning)
Answer: relative to the tentative hypotheses;
●● Evaluating each Hypotheses (Dx Reasoning)
Answer: reviewing with the new data collected, which leads to a final
diagnosis.
●● Four Types of Databases based on the situation
Answer: Complete
Focused (Problem Centered)
Follow up
Emergency
●● Complete (or total health) database
Answer: includes a total health history and a full physical examination,
yielding the first diagnoses.
, ●● Follow-up database
Answer: evaluates the status of any identified problem at regular
intervals to follow up on short-term and chronic health problems.
* Evaluate the status of the patient at regular intervals, for short-term or
chronic problems
●● Evidence-Based Practice
Answer: is a systematic approach to practice that uses research evidence,
clinical expertise, clinician knowledge, and the patient's preferences and
values to make decisions about care and treatment.
●● Critical thinking
Answer: is the multidimensional thinking process needed for sound
diagnostic reasoning and clinical judgment. Relevant information should
be identified, clinical cues gathered, the assessment completed, and
priorities considered.
●● Collaborative problems
Answer: are certain physiologic conditions in which the approach to
treatment involves multiple disciplines.
●● Biomedical
Answer: Assumes cause and effect
