MULTIPLE CHOICE oo




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



he is ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priority at this time?
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




a. Determine the patient‘s personal data and oo oo oo oo oo



insurance coverage. oo oo




b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the waiting oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



room until his name is called. oo oo oo oo oo oo




c. Request that a nurse collect data for a oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



comprehensive history. oo oo




d. Ask a nurse to start a focused assessment oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



of this patient now. oo oo oo oo




ANS: D oo



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



patient‘s cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



also driven by patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained,
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



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



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



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



to determine the patient‘s health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



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



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



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



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

a. A patient visits an obstetric clinic for the oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



first time and the nurse conducts a detailed oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



history and physical examination. oo oo oo oo




b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a local oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

pressure checks to mall patrons. oo oo oo oo oo




c. The nurse in an urgent care center checks oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the vital signs of a patient who is oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



complaining of leg pain. oo oo oo oo

d. your Study A patient newly diagnosed with diabetes oo oo oo oo oo



oo mellitus comes to test his fasting blood oo oo oo oo oo oo



oo glucose level. oo




ANS: B oo



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



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



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



example of a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient complaining of leg pain in
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



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



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



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