ACCURATE ANSWERS> D
c
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.
