MULTIPLE CHOICE
• What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?
A. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
B. Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
C. Determining the patients mental status
D. Exploring patient responses to health problems
Answer: D
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 identifying medical 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.

the scope of NANDA I.
