MULTIPLE CHOICE FE




1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse that he is
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


FE ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priority at this time?
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


a. Determine the patient‘s personal data and insurance coverage.
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the waiting room until his name is called.
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


c. Request that a nurse collect data for a comprehensive history.
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


d. Ask a nurse to start a focused assessment of this patient now.
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE




ANS: D FE


The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


patient‘s cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


is also driven by patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient is
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


assessed. Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determine the patient‘s health status.
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


patient‘s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation at this
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical history
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


related to cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal or mental
FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FE


health assessment is not a priority at this time.
