• What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?
A. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
B. Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
C. Determining the patients mental status

ANS: D
A nursing assessment is done to identify the patients response to health
problems. During the nursing assessment phase, a comprehensive
information base is developed through a physical examination, nursing
history, medication history, and professional observation. Identifying
underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the physician in identifying
medical conditions is not part of the nursing process. Determining the
patients mental status is one part of the nursing assessment, but it is not
the primary purpose.
