NSG 316 TOPIC 1 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
VERIFIED 2027 EDITION
1. subjective data
What patient says about himself or herself during history taking
2. objective data
Observed when inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating patient during physical examination
3. database
o Formed from these elements, plus patient's record and laboratory studies
4. what is a complete total health database?
o Includes complete health history and full physical examination o Describes current and past health state
and forms baseline to measure all future changes o Yields first diagnoses
5. what is an episodic or problem centered database?
o For limited or short-term problems o Concerns mainly one problem, one cue complex, or one body
system o History and examination follow direction of presenting concern
6. what is a follow-up database?
o Status of all identified problems should be evaluated at regular and appropriate intervals o Note
changes that have occurred o Evaluate whether problem is getting better or worse o Identify coping
strategies being used
7. what is an emergency database?
o Rapid collection of data, often compiled concurrently with lifesaving measures o Diagnosis must be rapid
and comprehensive in nature
8. ADOPIE
assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation, evaluation
9. First-level priority problems
emergent, life-threatening, and immediate, such as establishing an airway or supporting breathing.
10. Second-level priority problems
next in urgency. They require prompt intervention to prevent deterioration, and may include a mental
status change or acute pain.
11. third-level priority problems
are important to the patient's health, but can be addressed after more urgent problems. Examples include
lack of knowledge or family coping.
12. collaborative problems
approach to treatment involves multiple disciplines
13. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs)
Current and best clinical practice based on research standards focused on systematic reviews
14. age specific charts
focus on major risk factors specific for each age group based on lifestyle, health needs, and problems
