MULTIPLE CHOICE
Nursing Assessment and Diagnosis Exam
1. What is the main objective of a nursing assessment?
A. Recognizing underlying medical conditions
B. Aiding the doctor in diagnosing diseases
C. Evaluating the patient’s cognitive state
D. Understanding how the patient responds to health issues
Correct Answer: D
A nursing assessment focuses on identifying the patient’s responses to health conditions. It
involves gathering detailed information through a physical exam, patient history, medication
review, and professional observations. While evaluating mental status is a part of the
assessment, it is not the primary goal.
2. What forms the foundation of the NANDA I classification system?
A. Functional health patterns
B. Human response patterns
C. Basic human needs
D. Pathophysiologic conditions
Correct Answer: B
NANDA I classification is based on human response patterns. Functional health patterns are
limited to specific aspects like nutrition and self-care. Basic human needs go beyond just
health concerns. Pathophysiological conditions are not included in NANDA I.
3. What activity is part of the assessment phase in the nursing process?
A. Setting patient goals
B. Carrying out the nursing care plan
C. Assessing goal achievement
D. Gathering and sharing patient data
Correct Answer: D
The assessment phase involves collecting and communicating patient data. Setting goals
happens during planning, implementing the care plan falls under implementation, and
measuring goal achievement is part of evaluation.
4. Which statement accurately describes a nursing diagnosis?
A. It remains unchanged as long as the disease persists.
B. It is used to identify disease conditions.
C. It describes patient problems that nurses can address.
D. It determines illness-related causes.
, Correct Answer: C
Nursing diagnoses focus on issues within a nurse’s scope of practice. They evolve with the
patient’s condition and are not tied to specific diseases.
5. What do the NIC and NOC classification systems provide?
A. Personalized treatment databases for diseases
B. A universal language for nursing care analysis
C. A cost-control measure for hospitals
D. Specialized treatments for rare conditions
Correct Answer: B
NIC and NOC offer standardized terminology for documenting and analyzing nursing
interventions and outcomes, supporting the nursing process. They are not focused on disease-
specific treatments or financial concerns.
6. What type of nursing diagnosis is made when a patient has risk factors for developing
a problem?
A. Actual diagnosis
B. Risk diagnosis
C. Possible diagnosis
D. Wellness diagnosis
Correct Answer: B
A risk diagnosis identifies potential health issues based on existing risk factors. An actual
diagnosis includes specific symptoms, a possible diagnosis suggests an issue that needs more
assessment, and a wellness diagnosis applies to individuals who can achieve a higher level of
well-being.
7. Which outcome statement is properly written?
A. After surgery, the patient will accept the loss of a breast.
B. The patient will pass away with dignity.
C. By the end of the shift, the nurse will determine if the patient is comfortable.
D. Within 8 hours, urine output will exceed 30 mL/hr.
Correct Answer: D
This statement is specific, patient-focused, measurable, and includes a time frame.
8. Which nursing action is classified as interdependent?
A. Checking lung sounds every 4 hours
B. Educating the patient on prescribed medications
C. Administering Demerol 50 mg IM as needed
D. Encouraging the patient to share their feelings
