A nursing student tells the clinical instructor that their patient is fine and
has "no complaints." Which question by the faculty coaches the student
to provide evidence that supports their assessments?
A. "Could you tell me how you validated this?"
, B. "Do you think your patient feels free to share their concerns?"
C. "That's good to hear. Tell me about the care you provided."
D. "Please reassess the patient; they were admitted with a serious
problem." Correct Answers a. The instructor is reminding the student
that all data must be validated. Questioning the use of the word "fine"
allows the nurse to determine if this is a social and reflexive response,
and there may be another need the nurse can meet. Concluding that the
patient does not trust the student is premature and is based on an
invalidated inference. Saying "That's good to hear" and asking the
student to describe the care provided is incorrect because it accepts the
invalidated inference. Telling the student to reassess the patient because
they were admitted with a serious problem is incorrect because it is
possible that the condition is resolving.

signs of jaundice. The NP performs a brief skin assessment, then orders
a blood test for bilirubin levels. Which type of assessment has the NP
performed?
A. Comprehensive
B. Initial
C. Time-lapsed
D. Quick priority Correct Answers d. A quick priority assessment (QPA)
is a short, focused assessment to obtain the most important information
first. A comprehensive initial assessment is performed shortly after
admission. The time-lapsed assessment is used to compare a patient's
current status to baseline data obtained earlier.
