Test Bank for Health Assessment for Nursing Practice 7th Edition by Susan Fickertt Wilson, Jean Foret Giddens . Chapter 1-24 questions with Complete Guide & Rationales. A+ GRADE GUARANTEED. MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A client comes to the emergency department and tells the triage medic that he is ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the medic‘s top priority at this time? a. Determine the client‘s personal data and insurance coverage. b. Ask the client to take a seat in the waiting room until his name is called. c. Request that a medic collect data for a comprehensive history. d. Ask a medic to start a focused assessment of this client now. CORRECT: D The medic needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this client‘s cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the medic is also driven by client need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the client is assessed. Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the client to wait, the medic needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determine the client‘s health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the client‘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.

Which situation illustrates a screening assessment? a. A client visits an obstetric clinic for the first time and the medic conducts a detailed history and physical examination. b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a local mall and provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks to mall patrons. c. The medic in an urgent care center checks the vital signs of a client who is complaining of leg pain. d. A client newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus comes to test his fasting blood glucose level. CORRECT: B A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is an example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an example of a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a client complaining of leg pain in the triage area of an urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused assessment. A client‘s return lOMoARcPSD| appointment 1 month after today‘s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is an example of an episodic or follow-up assessment.
