MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his respirations
are eupneic and his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would be:
a Objective.
.
b Reflective.
.
c Subjective.
.
d Introspective.
.
ANS: A
Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating,
and auscultating during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about
him or herself during history taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to
describe data.

4. When listening to a patients breath sounds, the nurse is unsure of a sound that is heard. The
nurses next action should be to:
a Immediately notify the patients physician.
.
b Document the sound exactly as it was heard.
.
c Validate the data by asking a coworker to listen to the breath sounds.
.
d Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
.
ANS: C
When unsure of a sound heard while listening to a patients breath sounds, the nurse validates the
data to ensure accuracy. If the nurse has less experience in an area, then he or she asks an expert
