Chapter 03: Health History and Physical
Examination
Test Bank for Lewis Medical Surgical Nursing 11th Edition by
Harding

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A patient who is actively bleeding is admitted to the emergency department. Which
approach is best for the nurse to use to obtain a health history?
a. Briefly interview the patient while obtaining vital signs.
b. Obtain subjective data about the patient from family members.
c. Omit subjective data collection and obtain the physical examination.
d. Use the health care providers medical history to obtain subjective data.
ANS: A
In an emergency situation the nurse may need to ask only the most pertinent
questions for a specific problem and obtain more information later. A complete
health history will include subjective information that is not available in the health
care providers medical history. Family members may be able to provide some
subjective data, but only the patient will be able to give subjective information
about the bleeding. Because the subjective data about the cause of the patients
bleeding will be essential, obtaining the physical examination alone will not
provide sufficient information.

2. During the health history interview, a patient tells the nurse about periodic fainting
spells. Which question by the nurse will best elicit any associated clinical
manifestations?
a. How frequently do you have the fainting spells?
b. Where are you when you have the fainting spells?
c. Do the spells tend to occur at any special time of day?
d. Do you have any other symptoms along with the spells?
ANS: D
Asking about other associated symptoms will provide the nurse more information
about all the clinical manifestations related to the fainting spells. Information
about the setting is obtained by asking where the patient was and what the patient
was doing when the symptom occurred. The other questions from the nurse are
appropriate for obtaining information about chronology and frequency.
