,MULTIPLE CHOICE q




1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse that
q q q q q q q q q q q q



q heis “having a heart attack.” What is the nurse’s top priority at this time?
q q q q q q q q q q q q q




a. Determine the patient’s personal data and q q q q q



insurance coverage. q q




b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the waiting
q q q q q q q q q



room until his name is called.
q q q q q q




c. Request that a nurse collect data for q q q q q q



acomprehensive history. q




d. Ask a nurse to start a focused assessment
q q q q q q q



of this patient now.
q q q




ANSWER: D q



The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this patient’s
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is also driven by
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but in this situation,
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



these data can wait until after the patient is assessed. Based also on Maslow’s hierarchy of
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determine the patient’s
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to
q q q q q q q q q q q q q



analyze the patient’s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation at
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



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



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



health assessment is not a priority at this time.

2. Which situation illustrates a screening assessment?
q q q q q




a. A patient visits an obstetric clinic for the first q q q q q q q q



time and the nurse conducts a detailedhistory q q q q q q



and physical examination. q q q




b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a
q q q q q q q



localmall and provides cholesterol and q q q q



qblood pressure checks to mall patrons. q q q q q




c. The nurse in an urgent care center checks
q q q q q q q



the vital signs of a patient who is
q q q q q q q



complaining of leg pain.
q q q q

, d. A patient newly diagnosed with
q q q q



diabetesmellitus comes to test his fasting q q q q q



blood glucose level.
q q q




ANSWER: B q



A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is an
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and
q q q q q q q q q q q q q



physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an exampleof a
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient complaining of leg pain in the triage area of
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



an urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused assessment. A patient’s
q q q q q q q q q q q q q



return appointment 1 month after today’s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



an example of an episodic or follow-up assessment.

c. The person who is being admitted to a

q q q q q



after a knee replacement q q q




ANSWER: B q



A screening assessment is performed for the purpose of disease detection. In this case this
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



person may have diabetes mellitus. A shift assessment is most appropriate for the person
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q



who is recovering in the hospital from surgery. A comprehensive assessment is performed
q q q q q q q q q q q q q



during admission to a facility to obtain a detailed history and complete physical
q q q q q q q q q q q q q



examination. An episodic or follow-up assessment is performed after knee replacement to
q q q q q q q q q q q q



evaluate the outcome of the procedure.
