Chapter 1: Understanding Health Assessment
1. The World Health Organization (WHO) established a
global strategy called “Health for All.” The goal for this
strategy is:
1. All individuals to get the same health care throughout their
life spans.
2. The government to supply money to care for all the people in
the world.
3. Resources for health care to be evenly distributed and
accessible.
4. Health-care providers can never deny patients health care.
2. Health assessment is a foundational and priority
nursing skill. This essential skill requires registered
nurses (RNs) to:
1. Diagnose and treat patients.
2. Identify normal and abnormal findings.
3. Refer patients with abnormal findings.
4. Counsel patients with psychosocial needs.
