MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his respirations are eupneic and
his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data wouldbe:


a. Objective.

b. Reflective.

c. Subjective.

d. Introspective.


ANS: A

Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating
during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him or herself during history
taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension)

MSC: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care

3. The patients record, laboratory studies, objective data, and subjective data combine to form the:


a. Data base.

b. Admitting data.
c. Financial statement.

d. Discharge summary.

EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with the
clinicians experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions about care and
treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and questioning
tradition is important when no compelling and supportive research evidence exists.
