Chapter 01: Introduction to Health Assessment
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.

3. For which person is a screening assessment indicated?
a. The person who had abdominal surgery
yesterday
b. The person who is unaware of his high

during admission to a facility to obtain a detailed history and complete physical
examination. An episodic or follow-up assessment is performed after knee replacement to
evaluate the outcome of the procedure.

examination. The patient’s scratching is objective information gathered by the nurse
through observation, is also a sign, and is documented in the physical examination. The

10. After collecting the data, the nurse begins data analysis with which action?
a. Clustering data
b. Documenting subjective data
c. Reporting information to other health team
members
d. Documenting objective information

more clearly. To cluster data, the nurse interprets the assessment data collected.
Documenting subjective data is necessary for the medical record, but does not provide
analysis. Before reporting data to health team members, the nurse clusters and interprets
data. Documenting objective data is necessary for the medical record, but does not provide
analysis.

Exercising is an example of primary prevention that prevents disease from developing by
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Monthly breast self-examination is an example of
secondary prevention and screening efforts to promote early detection of disease. Annual
cervical (Papanicolaou test) examination is an example of secondary prevention and
screening efforts to promote early detection of disease. Teaching a patient how to live with
a chronic disease such as asthma is an example of tertiary prevention directed toward
minimizing the disability from chronic disease and helping the patient maximize his or her
health.
