• What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?

• Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
• Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
• Determining the patients mental status
• Exploring patient responses to health problems


PRECISE ANSWER:-D

REASONING:->>> A nursing assessment is done to identify the patients
response to health problems. During the nursing assessment phase, a
comprehensive information base is developed through a physical
examination, nursing history, medication history, and professional
observation. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the
physician in identifyingmedical conditions is not part of the nursing
process. Determining the patients mental status is one part of the nursing
assessment, but it is not the primary purpose.

• What is the basis of the NANDA I taxonomy?

• Functional health patterns
• Human response patterns

PRECISE ANSWER:-B

REASONING:->>> The NANDA I taxonomy identifies human
response patterns. Functional components of health patterns are limited
to activity, fluid volume, nutrition, self care, and sensory perception.
Basic human needs comprise less than merely health patterns.
Pathophysiologic needs arenot part of the scope of NANDA I.
