d. Ask A Nurse To Start A Focusedassessmentof This Patient Now.

Answer: D

The Nurse Needs To Begin Anassessmentas Soon As Possible That Is Focused On This Patient’s
Cardiovascular System. The Type Of Healthassessmentperformed 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, Suchas Vital Signs, Immediately To Determine The Patient’s Health Status.
ComplicationsCan Be Prevented If An Immediateassessmentis 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 Healthassessmentis Not A Priority At This Time.
