, SECTION 1: Nursing Foundations & Health Care Delivery
Q1. A nursing student is learning about the nursing process. The instructor asks the student to identify the step that involves
collecting subjective and objective data about the client's health status. The student correctly identifies which step?
A. Assessment
B. Planning
C. Implementation
D. Evaluation
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Assessment is the first step of the nursing process and involves systematic collection of subjective (what the client reports) and objective (what the
nurse observes or measures) data. Planning follows diagnosis; implementation is carrying out interventions; evaluation measures outcomes.
Q2. A nurse is prioritizing care for four clients using Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Which client problem should the nurse address
first?
A. A client who feels lonely and isolated from family
B. A client with a respiratory rate of 8 breaths per minute and cyanosis
C. A client who is anxious about an upcoming surgery
D. A client who expresses a desire to learn about a new diet
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Physiological needs, particularly oxygenation and airway, take priority over psychosocial needs such as belonging, safety (anxiety), or
self-actualization (learning). The client with severe respiratory compromise requires immediate intervention.
Q3. A newly licensed nurse is reviewing the roles of the registered nurse. The charge nurse explains that critical thinking is
essential for clinical judgment. Which action best demonstrates critical thinking in the clinical setting?
A. Following a checklist without considering individual client needs
B. Analyzing assessment data, recognizing patterns, and choosing interventions based on evidence and client response
C. Delegating all complex decisions to the physician
D. Memorizing textbook procedures and applying them exactly as written
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Critical thinking involves purposeful analysis of data, identification of patterns or problems, and selection of interventions that are evidence-based
and individualized. Rigid adherence to checklists or pure memorization without adaptation does not reflect clinical judgment.
Q4. A client asks the nurse about the difference between a hospital and a skilled nursing facility. The nurse explains that skilled
nursing facilities primarily provide which type of care?
A. Long-term care with rehabilitative and custodial services for clients who need ongoing assistance
B. Acute medical and surgical interventions only
C. Emergency trauma services exclusively
D. Outpatient diagnostic testing only
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) provide long-term or post-acute care that includes skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assistance with activities of
daily living. Acute hospitals focus on short-term intensive medical or surgical care.
