To effectively recognize patient cues, which concepts would the nurse need to understand? -
(answer)The first few minutes of the patient encounter are critical.
(It is easy to focus on tasks that need to be done when the nurse enters the patient's room. However, if
the nurse leaps into task completion without taking time to listen to the patient and observe the
patient's environment and nonverbal communication, the nurse can overlook key information and miss
patient cues.)
A nonjudgmental environment promotes communication.
(The nurse needs to ensure a nonjudgmental environment to promote effective communication of
subjective patient cues.)
The nurse should adapt the physical assessment based on patient age.
(Developmental level and age can influence a patient's ability to communicate cues during a patient
interview.)
Which factors can hinder the nurse's ability to recognize patient cues? - (answer)The patient is 3 years
old.
(A patient's age and developmental level can create a barrier to effective communication)
The patient is crying uncontrollably.
(Stress, as evidenced by uncontrollable crying, can create feelings of frustration and anxiety, which can
negatively affect communication.)
The patient does not speak English as a first language.
(Language can create a barrier when the nurse and patient do not understand each other. Translators
should be used to promote effective communication.)
The patient's culture discourages eye contact with strangers.
(An individual's cultural background can influence the way someone communicates and the
interpretation of verbal and nonverbal cues.)

Which examples are objective patient cues collected from the electronic health record? -
(answer)Potassium level is 3.5 mmol/L.
(The electronic health record includes a complete report of overall health, including laboratory test
values.)
Blood pressure is 118/70 mm Hg.
(The electronic health record includes a comprehensive report of overall health, including vital signs.)
Heart rate is 72 beats/min.
(The electronic health record includes a thorough report of overall health, including vital signs.)
Bowel sounds are heard in all quadrants.
(The electronic health record includes a thorough report of overall health, including findings from the
physical examination.)
Which factor can influence the nurse's ability to recognize and categorize patient cues? -
(answer)Experience with other patients
(The nurse's experience with other patients can influence recognition and categorization of cues based
on the progression of care for prior patients.)
Which patient cue would the nurse categorize as "important" for a patient diagnosed with a femur

(Urgent patient cues demand immediate attention and generally relate to airway, breathing, circulation,
or safety. An elevated temperature can be categorized as important since it is the most significant finding
presented and indicates the potential of infection, but it will not necessarily influence airway, breathing,
circulation, or safety.)
The answer to which question would help the nurse categorize patient cues according to the degree of
concern? - (answer)Which cues demand immediate attention?
(Data are categorized based on degree of concern or urgency if they demand immediate attention.)

(answer)Completes a health history, clusters patient data, and prioritizes hypotheses.
Which questions would the nurse consider when prioritizing hypotheses? - (answer)What are the risks
for other hypotheses?
(Determining risks for rank ordering hypotheses supports the prioritization of hypotheses.)
Which hypothesis is most important and should be managed first?
(Consideration of which hypothesis is most important and should be managed first allows the nurse to
prioritize hypotheses.)
Which patient cues would the nurse identify as priority and promptly report to the health care provider
when analyzing findings from the assessment of a 30-year-old patient? - (answer)Severe chest pain
(Severe chest pain, which could indicate an urgent medical issue, should be quickly reported to the
health care provider.)
Temperature of 104°F (40°C)
(Extremely high vital signs, such as elevated temperature of 104°F (40°C), should be swiftly reported to
the health care provider.)
Heart rate of 140 BPM
(Critically elevated vital signs, such as tachycardia, should be rapidly reported to the health care
provider.)
