NURS1543 Test 1 Questions and
Solutions
Subjective Data - what the person says about himself or herself during history
taking
Objective Data - what the health professional observes by inspecting, palpating,
percussing, and auscultating during the physical examination
Database - Subjective data + Objective data + record + lab results + diagnostic
tests
Diagnostic Reasoning - process of analyzing health data and drawing conclusions.
Made up of 4 parts: (a) attending to initially available cues; (b) formulating
diagnostic hypotheses; (c) gathering data relative to the tentative hypotheses; and
(d) evaluating each hypothesis with the new data collected
Nursing Process - Systematic method of planning and providing patient care
organized around a series of phrases that integrate evidence-informed practice and
critical thinking.
5 phases of the nursing process - 1. Assessment
2. Nursing Diagnosis
3. Planning
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation

,NURS 1543 - FINAL EXAM PRACTICE QUESTIONS
First-level priority problems - emergent, life-threatening, and immediate, such as
establishing an airway or supporting breathing
Second-level priority problems - those that are next in urgency requiring your
prompt intervention to forestall further deterioration. (mental status change, acute
pain, acute urinary elimination problem, untreated medical problems, abnormal lab
test results)
Third-level priority problems - those that are important to the patient's health but
can be addressed after more urgent health problems are addressed. (Knowledge
deficit, altered family processes, and low self esteem)
Collaborative problems - approach to treatment involves multiple disciplines
Evidence-informed practice - a paradigm and life-long problem solving approach
to clinical decision-making that involves the conscientious use of the best available
evidence (including a systematic search for and critical appraisal of the most
relevant evidence to answer a clinical question) with one's own clinical expertise
and patient values and preferences to improve outcomes for individuals, groups,
communities, and systems
Biomedical model of health - Predominant model of the Canadian health care
system, health is the absence of disease.
Health and disease are viewed as two ends of a continuum. Disease is assumed to
be caused by specific agents or pathogens. Thus the biomedical focus is the
diagnosis and treatment of those pathogens and the curing of disease.

Behavioural Model of Health - health care extends beyond treating disease to
include secondary and primary preventions, with emphasis on changing behaviours
and lifestyles
Socioenvironmental Model of Health - incorporates sociological and
environmental aspects in addition to the biomedical and behavioural ones.
Relational Approach in Nursing Practice - accounts for the fact that health, illness,
and the meanings they hold for a person are shaped by the person's social, cultural,
family, historical, and geographical contexts, as well as the person's gender, age,
ability, and other individual contexts. Focuses nurses' attention on what is
significant to people in the context of their everyday lives and how capacities and
socioenvironmental limitations shape people's choices.
Complete (Total Health) Database - Includes complete health history and full
physical examination
Describes current and past health state and forms baseline to measure all future
changes
Yields first diagnoses
episodic/problem centered database - limited, or short term problem
- collect a "mini" database, smaller in scope and more targeted.
Follow-up database - used in all settings to monitor progress of short-term or
chronic health problems. Evaluated the status of identified problems
Emergency database - rapid collection of the database, often compiled concurrently
with lifesaving measures
