MULTIPLE CHOICE v7




1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


that heis ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priority at this time?
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7



a. Determine the patient‘s personal data v7 v7 v7 v7


andinsurance coverage. v7 7

b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


waitingroom until his name is called.

c. Request that a nurse collect data v7 v7 v7 v7 v7

v v7



d. Ask a nurse to start a focused
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


assessmentof this patient now.
v7 7
v v7 v7 v7



ANSWER: D v7


The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


patient‘scardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


is also drivenby patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient is assessed.
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence.
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data collection, such
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


as vital signs, immediately to determinethe patient‘s health status. Complications can
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 7
v v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the patient‘s symptoms.
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation at this time. Some
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical history related to
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal or mental health
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


assessment is not a priority at this time.

A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


an example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


history and physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


clinic is an exampleof a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient complaining
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


of leg pain in the triage area of an urgent care center is an example of a problem-
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


based/focused assessment. A patient‘s return appointment 1 month after today‘s office
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7

v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7


assessment.
