b. Ask The Patient To Take A Seat In The Waiting Room Until His Name Is Called.
c. Request That A Nurse Collect Data For A Comprehensive History.
d. Ask A Nurse To Start A Focused Assessment Of This Patient
Now. Answer: D
The Nurse Needs To Begin An Assessment As Soon As Possible That Is Focused On This
Patient’s Cardiovascular System. The Type Of Health Assessment Performed By The Nurse Is
Also Driven By Patient Need. Personal Data And Insurance Information Will Be Obtained, But In
This Situation, These Data Can Wait Until After The Patient Is Assessed. Based Also On
Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, Physiologic Needs Take Precedence. Rather Than Asking The
Patient To Wait, The Nurse Needs To Begin Data Collection, Such As Vital Signs,
Immediately To Determine The Patient’s Health Status.
Complications Can Be Prevented If An Immediate Assessment Is Made To Analyze The
Patient’s Symptoms. A Comprehensive History Is Not Indicated In This Situation At This
Time. Some Subjective Data Will Be Collected, Such As Allergies And Medical History
Related To Cardiovascular Disease. Eyes, Ears, Or A Complete Musculoskeletal Or Mental
Health Assessment Is Not A Priority At This Time.
