fsacrum. Which type of data are you collecting with this information?
f f f f f f f f f f
a. Objective data f
b. Inspection
c. Subjective data f
d. Alternative therapy f
ANS: A f
Objective data are obtained bythe healthcare provider during physical examination, or that are

measurable (i.e., laboratory results).

a. Assessment
b. Planning
c. Evaluation
d. Diagnosis
ANS: B f
The nursing process consists of five major steps in this order: assessment, diagnosis, planning,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
implementation, evaluation. It is in the planning step that the goals for nursing care related to drugs
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
are set based upon data collected.

a. Check the drug record with the Kardex file. f f f f f f f
b. Compare the order with the drug history. f f f f f f
c. Compare the order to the patient‟s reason for admission. f f f f f f f f
d. Check the drug record with the original healthcare provider‟s order.

Once the healthcare provider orders the drug, you must verify that the order is accurate. This is
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
done by checking the drug chart or drug record with the healthcare provider‟s original order.

f f
ANS: D f
Before giving any drug, two forms of patient identifications should be used to identify the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
correct patient. Each patient should be asked his or her name, and another form of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
identification, such as birthdate; then you should check the patient‟s identification bracelet.
