What type of database is most appropriate when the rapid collection of data is
required and often compiled concurrently with lifesaving measures?

helpful, as they illustrate
a. Complete
b. Focused
c. Follow-up
d. Emergency - (ANSWER)d. Emergency
An emergency database includes the rapid collection of data often obtained
concurrently with lifesaving measures. A focused database is for a limited or
short-term problem; this database concerns mainly one problem, one cue
complex, or one body system. A follow-up database is used to follow up on short-
term or chronic health problems; the statuses of identified problems are
evaluated at regular and appropriate intervals. A complete database includes a
complete health history and a full physical examination; it describes the current
and past health state and forms a baseline against which all future changes can be
measured.
A nurse precepting a student nurse asks, "What's the most important step in the
critical-thinking process?"
a. Clustering subjective and objective data
b. Analyzing health data

c. Using evidence-based assessment techniques
d. Prioritizing health concerns - (ANSWER)c. Using evidence-based assessment
techniques
conceptual understanding and practical application. Students are encouraged to study theories and frameworks but also to keep up-to-date with current business trends. Case studies from leading businesses can be
helpful, as they illustrate
Evidence-based techniques are supported by research showing effectiveness of
the technique that provides the safest and most current techniques to promote
the health of patients. Clustering subjective and objective data is a step in the
critical-thinking process, but is not the most important step. Analyzing health data
is a step in the critical-thinking process, but is not the most important step.
Prioritizing health concerns is a step in the critical-thinking process, but is not the
most important step.
What type of database is most appropriate for an individual who is admitted to a
long-term care facility?
a. Focused
b. Complete
c. Emergency

Which of the following is an example of objective data?
a. A sore throat
b. An earache
c. Alert and oriented
d. Dizziness - (ANSWER)c. Alert and oriented
Objective data is what the health professional observes; level of consciousness
and orientation are observations. Subjective data is what the person says about
himself or herself during history taking.
Which of the following is an example of subjective data?
a. Blood glucose 126 md/dL
b. Pain rated at 7 out of 10
c. Heart rate of 76 bpm
d. Bruising on lower leg - (ANSWER)b. Pain rated at 7 out of 10
Subjective data is what the patient says about himself or herself during history
taking. Objective data is what the health professional observes by inspecting,

percussing, palpating, and auscultating during the physical examination. Blood
glucose is measured by using a drop of blood placed on a test strip in a
glucometer. Bruising is assessed by inspection. Heart rate is assessed by palpation
of the radial artery or auscultated with a stethoscope when listening to heart
sounds.

A complete database is
a. used to collect data rapidly and is often compiled concurrently with lifesaving
measures.
b. used to evaluate the cause or etiology of disease.
c. used for a limited or short-term problem usually consisting of one problem, one
cue complex, or one body system.
d. used to perform a thorough or comprehensive health history and physical
examination. - (ANSWER)d. used to perform a thorough or comprehensive health
