1. The World Health Organization (WHO) established a global strategy called ―Health for All.‖
t t t t t t t t t t t t
The goal for this strategy is:
t t t t t t
1. All individuals to get the same health care throughout their life spans.
t t t t t t t t t t t
2. The government to supply money to care for all the people in the world.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
3. Resources for health care to be evenly distributed and accessible.
t t t t t t t t t
4. Health-care providers can never deny patients health care. t t t t t t t
2. Health assessment is a foundational and priority nursing skill. This essential skill requires
t t t t t t t t t t t t
registered nurses (RNs) to:
t t t t
1. Diagnose and treat patients. t t t
2. Identify normal and abnormal findings. t t t t
3. Refer patients with abnormal findings.
t t t t
4. Counsel patients with psychosocial needs. t t t t
3. You are assessing a patient with five gunshot wounds on a trauma unit. There is a police
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
presence outside his door because the patient is a known drug dealer in the community. You
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
know that nurses must treat all patients as persons. This is called:
t t t t t t t t t t t t
1. Caring.
2. Holistic process. t
3. Person-centered care (PCC). t t
4. Standards of care. t t
4. The science-based framework updated every 10 years by the U.S. Department of Health and
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Human Services that has set national goals and objectives for health promotion and disease
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t

t t

2. Healthy People 2020. t t

t t t
4. World Health Organization. t t
5. A 38-year-old male has a family history of colon cancer. His father died of colon cancer at age
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
48. The doctor recommended that this patient have a colonoscopy this year. This is an example of:
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
1. Primary health prevention. t t
, 2. Secondary health prevention. t t
3. Tertiary health prevention. t t
6. A patient in the hospital puts on his call light and tells the person answering that he ―thinks he is
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
running a fever and has stomach discomfort.‖ You are the registered nurse in charge. What should
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
you do?
t t
1. Ask the medical assistant to go to the patient‘s room and assess his complaints.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
2. Go check to see if the patient has an order for Tylenol for a fever.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
3. Page the resident on call immediately to assess the patient.
t t t t t t t t t
4. Go to the patient‘s room and assess for fever and the epigastric discomfort.
t t t t t t t t t t t t
7. You are leading an interdisciplinary team conference to discuss how to provide better care for a
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
challenging patient who has behavioral problems. There are several areas that need to be problem
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
solved and new ideas formulated to create an improved plan of care. What cognitive skills are you
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
using?
t
1. Critical thinking t
2. Clinical decision making t t
3. Intuitive thinking t
4. Clinical reasoning t
8. Best practice assessment techniques and instruments have been validated by:
t t t t t t t t t
1. American Nurses Association. t t
2. Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements.
t t t t t t t
3. Research and evidence-based practice. t t t
4. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
t t t t t
9. Health and illness are determined by many factors. What are the determinants of health
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)? Select all that apply.
