MULTIPLE CHOICE Qg
1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
Qg that heis “having a heart attack.” What is the nurse’s top priority at this time?
Qg Q

a. Determine the patient’s personal data and Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
insurance coverage. Q

b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
waitingroom until his name is called.

c. Request that a nurse collect data Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
for acomprehensive history.
Qg Qg Q
g Qg
d. Ask a nurse to start a focused
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
assessmentof this patient now.
Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg
ANSWER: D Qg
The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
patient’scardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the
Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
nurse is also drivenby patient need. Personal data and insurance information will
Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
be obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient is
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
assessed. Based also on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determinethe patient’s health status.
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg
Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
the patient’s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
at this time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
history related to cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
or mental health assessment is not a priority at this time.

2. Which situation illustrates a screening assessment?
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
a. A patient visits an obstetric clinic for Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
the first time and the nurse conducts a Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
detailedhistory and physical examination. Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg

patrons. Qg

, d. A patient newly diagnosed with
Qg Qg Qg Qg
diabetesmellitus comes to test his
Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg
fasting blood glucose level.
Qg Qg Qg Qg
ANSWER: B Qg
A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
an example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
history and physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
clinic is an exampleof a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient
Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
complaining of leg pain in the triage area of an urgent care center is an example
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
of a problem-based/focused assessment. A patient’s return appointment 1 month
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
after today’s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is an example of an
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
episodic or follow-up assessment.

ANSWER: A Qg
After collecting data, the nurse organizes or clusters the data so that the problems

Qg
Documenting subjective data is necessary for the medical record, but does not
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
provide analysis. Before reporting data to health team members, the nurse clusters
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
and interprets data. Documenting objective data is necessary for the medical record,

“What is your purpose for coming to the clinic today?” is an open-ended question
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
that focuses on the patient’s reason for seeking care. “Have you ever been a
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
patient in this clinicbefore?” is a close-ended question that yields a “yes” or “no”
Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
response. This question may be asked on the first visit, but not as an opening
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
question for a health interview. “Tell me a little about yourself and your family”
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
is an open-ended question, but it is too general, and itis at least two questions:

one about the patient and another about the family. “Did you have
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
, any difficulty finding the clinic?” is a social question and does not focus on the
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
patient’spurpose for the visit.

family history” focuses on thenurse’s need to complete the assessment rather than
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
the needs of the patient. “The hospitalrequires me to complete this assessment as
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
g Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
soon as possible” focuses on the nurse’s need tomeet hospital requirements rather
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Q
