NSG 316 EXAM 1
1. A nurse is conducting a general survey of an adult client during an initial health
assessment. Which finding should the nurse document under the category of mobility?
a. Client's hygiene and grooming
b. Client's gait and range of motion
c. Client's speech clarity
d. Client’s mood and affect
Answer: b. Client's gait and range of motion
Rationale: Mobility encompasses gait and range of motion, which evaluate a patient's
physical abilities during a general survey. Documenting these findings under mobility
provides essential baseline data for function and safety (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.151).

2. A nurse prepares to conduct a focused assessment on a client with complaints of
shortness of breath. Which of the following should the nurse prioritize?
a. Assessing gastrointestinal function
b. Assessing mobility and gait
c. Assessing respiratory system
d. Assessing dietary intake
Answer: c. Assessing respiratory system
Rationale: When a client presents with shortness of breath, the primary concern is
compromise of the respiratory system. A focused assessment in this area enables the
nurse to quickly identify life-threatening conditions and prioritize interventions (Jarvis
& Eckhardt, p.151).

3. A client states, "I feel dizzy when I stand up." The nurse records this as what type of
data?
a. Objective data
b. Secondary data
, c. Subjective data
d. Historical data
Answer: c. Subjective data
Rationale: Subjective data reflects client-reported symptoms or feelings that cannot be
measured directly by the nurse. The client’s statement about dizziness is personal
and symptomatic (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.50).
---
4. During a health assessment, the nurse notices a client's speech is slow and they
seem drowsy. This observation should be recorded under which category of the
general survey?
a. Mobility
b. Appearance
c. Behavior
d. Body structure
Answer: c. Behavior
Rationale: Assessment of behavior includes evaluation of speech, mood, level of
consciousness, and cooperation. Noting slow speech and drowsiness falls under this
component (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.152).
