A client comes to the walk-in clinic with reports of abdominal pain
and diarrhea. While taking the client's vital signs, the nurse is
implementing which phase of the nursing process?
A. Assessment
B. Diagnosis
C. Planning
D. Implementation - ANSWER-A. Assessment
Rationale: The first step in the nursing process is
assessment, the process of collecting data. All subsequent
phases of the nursing process (options 2, 3, and 4) rely on
accurate and complete data.
The nurse is measuring the client's urine output and straining the
urine to assess for stones. Which of the following should the
nurse record as objective data?
,2|Page
A. The client reports abdominal pain
B. The client's urine output was 450 mL
C. The client states, "I didn't see any stones in my urine."
D. The client states, "I feel like I have passed a stone." -
ANSWER-B. The client's urine output was 450 mL.
Rationale: Objective data is measurable data that can be
seen, heard, or verified by the nurse. The objective data is
the measurement of the urine output. A client's statements
and reports of symptoms are documented as subjective data,
such as the data found in options 1, 3, and 4.
When evaluating an elderly client's blood pressure (BP) of 146/78
mmHg, the nurse does which of the following before determining
whether the BP is normal or represents hypertension?
A. Compare this reading against defined standards
B. Compare the reading with one taken in the opposite arm
C. Determine gaps in the vital signs in the client record
D. Compare the current measurement with previous ones -
ANSWER-A. Compare this reading against defined
,3|Page
Rationale: Analysis of the client's BP requires knowledge of
the normal BP range for an older adult. The nurse compares
the client's data against identified standards to determine
whether this reading is normal or abnormal. Measuring the
BP in the other arm (option 2) and comparing the reading to
previous ones (option 4) will give additional client data, but
the comparison alone will not determine whether the BP is
normal. Gaps in the record (option 3) will not aid in
interpreting the current measurement.
Which of the following behaviors by the nurse demonstrates that
the nurse is participating in critical thinking? Select all that apply.
A. Admitting not knowing how to do a procedure and requesting
help
B. Using clever and persuasive remarks to support an opinion or
position
C. Accepting without question the values acquired in nursing
school
D. Finding a quick and logical answer, even to complex questions

E. Gathering three assistants to transfer the client to a stretcher
after noting the client weighs 300 lbs. - ANSWER-A. Admitting not
knowing how to do a procedure and requesting help
E. Gathering three assistants to transfer the client to a stretcher
after noting the client weighs 300 lbs.
Rationale: Critical thinking in nursing is self-directed,
supporting what nurses know and making clear what they do
not know. It is important for nurses to recognize when they
lack the knowledge they need to provide safe care for a client
(option 1). Nurses must also utilize their resources to acquire
the support they need to care for a client safely (option 5).
Options 2, 3, and 4 do not demonstrate critical thinking.
The nurse has documented the following outcome goal in the care
plan: "The client will transfer from bed to chair with two-person
assist." The charge nurse tells the nurse to add which of the
following to complete the goal?
A. Client behavior
B. Conditions or modifiers
