1. A Mexican-American client with epilepsy is being seen at the clinic for an
initial examination. What is the primary purpose of including cultural
information in the health assessment?
A. Confirm the medical diagnosis
B. Make accurate nursing diagnoses
C. Identify any hereditary traits related to the epilepsy
D. Determine what the client believes has caused the
epilepsy Correct

gathers assessment data but does not confirm a medical diagnosis.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate the option that indicates to confirm a medical
diagnosis, because this is not the role of the nurse. To select from the
remaining options, recall that cultural beliefs exist in relation to the cause of a
disease; this will direct you to the correct option. Review: the nurse’s role in
data collection and cultural considerations .

2.
A nurse is reviewing the findings of a physical examination that have been
documented in a client's record. Which piece of information does the nurse
recognize as objective data?
A. The client is allergic to strawberries.
B. The last menstrual period was 30 days ago.
C. The client takes acetaminophen (Tylenol) for headaches.
D. A 1 × 2-inch (5 cm) scar is present on the lower right portion ofthe
abdomen.
Correct
Rationale: Subjective data, collected during the health history, consist of
information that the client gives about himself or herself. Objective data are
obtained through physical examination and vital signs measurements, what the
, nurse observes, and laboratory study and diagnostic test results. Allergies, the
date of the client’s last menstrual period, and the reported use of medication for
headaches are all subjective data.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate the options that are comparable or alike and
include data that the nurse would obtain from the client during the health
history. Review: the difference between subjective and objective data .

A nurse performing a cranial nerve assessment is testing the function of the
oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves. Which of the following parameters
does the nurse check to determine the function of these nerves?
A. Tongue symmetry
B. Eye movements Correct
C. Facial symmetry
D. Corneal reflex
, Rationale: Testing of the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves, which
are usually assessed together, involves checking the pupils for size, regularity,
equality, direct and consensual light reaction, and accommodation, as well as
testing of extraocular movements through the cardinal positions of gaze.
Inspection of the tongue for symmetry reveals the function of cranial nerve XII
(hypoglossal nerve). Assessment of facial symmetry reveals the function of
cranial nerve VII (facial nerve). The corneal reflex reflects the function of the
sensory afferent in cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve) and the motor efferent in
cranial nerve VII (facial nerve).
Test-Taking Strategy: Knowledge regarding the function of the various cranial
nerves is needed to answer this question. Recalling that the oculomotor,
trochlear, and abducens nerves are related to pupil function and eye
movements will direct you to the correct option. Review: the functions of these
nerves .
