Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse is collecting data on a patient who is being admitted into hospice
care. The nurse collects data from both the patient and the family so that a
clear picture of the patient status is obtained. The nurse is currently involved
in which step of the nursing process?

ANS: A
Assessment is the deliberate and systematic collection of data about a patient.
The data will reveal a patient’s current and past health status, functional status,
and present and past coping patterns. A nursing diagnosis is a clinical
judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual and
potential health problems or life processes that the nurse is licensed and
competent to treat. Implementation is the performance of nursing interventions
necessary for achieving the goals and expected outcomes of nursing care.
Evaluation is crucial to deciding whether, after interventions have been
delivered, a patient’s condition or well-being improves.
