MULTIPLE |CHOICE
1. A |patient |comes |to |the |emergency |department |and |tells |the |triage |nurse |that |he|is
|“having |a | heart |attack.” |What |is |the | nurse’s |top |priority|at |this |time?
a. Determine |the |patient’s |personal |data |and
|insurance |coverage.
b. Ask |the |patient |to |take |a |seat |in |the |waiting
|room |until | his |name |is |called.
c. Request |that |a |nurse |collect |data |for |a
|comprehensive | history.
d. Ask |a |nurse |to |start |a |focused |assessment
|of |this |patient |now.
ANSWER: | D
The |nurse |needs |to |begin |an |assessment |as |soon |as |possible |that |is |focused |on |this |patient’s
|cardiovascular |system. |The |type |of |health |assessment |performed |by |the |nurse |is |also |driven
|by |patient |need. |Personal |data |and |insurance |information |will |be |obtained, |but |in |this
|situation, |these |data |can |wait |until |after |the |patient |is |assessed. |Based |also |on |Maslow’s
|hierarchy |of |needs, |physiologic |needs |take |precedence. |Rather |than |asking |the |patient |to
|wait, |the |nurse |needs |to |begin |data |collection, |such |as |vital |signs, |immediately |to |determine
|the |patient’s |health |status. |Complications |can |be |prevented |if |an |immediate |assessment |is
|made |to |analyze |the |patient’s |symptoms. |A |comprehensive |history |is |not |indicated |in |this
|situation |at |this |time. |Some |subjective |data |will |be |collected, |such |as |allergies |and |medical
|history |related |to |cardiovascular |disease. |Eyes, |ears, |or |a |complete |musculoskeletal |or
|mental | health |assessment |is |not |a |priority |at |this |time.

2. Which |situation |illustrates |a |screening |assessment?
a. A |patient |visits |an |obstetric |clinic |for |the |first
|time |and |the |nurse |conducts |a |detailed|history
|and |physical |examination.
b. A |hospital |sponsors |a |health |fair |at |a |local
|mall |and |provides |cholesterol |and |blood
|pressure |checks |to |mall |patrons.
c. The |nurse |in |an |urgent |care |center |checks
|the |vital |signs |of |a |patient |who |is
|complaining |of |leg |pain.
, d. A |patient |newly |diagnosed |with |diabetes
|mellitus |comes |to |test |his |fasting |blood
|glucose |level.
ANSWER: |B
A |health |fair |at |a |local |mall |that |provides |cholesterol |and |blood |pressure |checks |is |an
|example |of |a |screening |assessment |focused |on |disease |detection. |A |detailed |history |and
|physical |examination |conducted |during |a |first-time |visit |to |an |obstetric |clinic |is |an |example|of
|a |comprehensive |assessment. |Assessing |a |patient |complaining |of |leg |pain |in |the |triage |area
|of |an |urgent |care |center |is |an |example |of |a |problem-based/focused |assessment. |A |patient’s
|return |appointment |1 |month |after |today’s |office |visit |to |report |fasting |blood |glucose |levels |is
|an |example |of |an |episodic |or | follow-up |assessment.

c. The |person |who |is |being |admitted |to |a

d. The |person |who |is |beginning |rehabilitation
|after |a |knee |replacement
ANSWER: |B
A |screening |assessment |is |performed |for |the |purpose |of |disease |detection. |In |this |case |this
|person |may |have |diabetes |mellitus. |A |shift |assessment |is |most |appropriate |for |the |person
|who |is |recovering |in |the |hospital |from |surgery. |A |comprehensive |assessment |is |performed
