• 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
D. Exploring patient responses to health problems
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.
