nnhealth nnhistory, nnfamily nnhistory, nnand nnlifestyle nnand nnhealth nnpractices nn(which nnincludes nninformation
nnrelated nnto nnthe nnclient's nnoverall nnfunction) nnas nnwell nnas nnobjective nndata nngathered nnduring nna nnstep-by-
step nnphysical nnexamination. nnIt nnserves nnas nna nnbaseline nnof nndata nnon nna nnpatient.
What nnis nna nnpartial nnassessment? nn- nncorrect nnanswer-An nnongoing nnor nnpartial nnassessment nnof nnthe
nnclient nnconsists nnof nndata nncollection nnthat nnoccurs nnafter nnthe nncomprehensive nndatabase nnis nnestablished.
nnThis nnconsists nnof nna nnmini-overview nnof nnthe nnclient's nnbody nnsystems nnand nnholistic nnhealth nnpatterns nnas
nna nnfollow-up nnon nnhealth nnstatus. nnAny nnproblems nnthat nnwere nninitially nndetected nnin nnthe nnclient's nnbody
nnsystem nnor nnholistic nnhealth nnpatterns nnare nnreassessed nnto nndetermine nnany nnchanges nn(deterioration nnor
nnimprovement) nnfrom nnthe nnbaseline nndata.
What nnis nna nnfocused nnassessment? nn- nncorrect nnanswer-A nnfocused nnor nnproblem-oriented nnassessment
nndoes nnnot nnreplace nnthe nncomprehensive nnhealth nnassessment. nnIt nnis nnperformed nnwhen nna
nncomprehensive nndatabase nnexists nnfor nna nnclient nnwho nncomes nnto nnthe nnhealth nncare nnagency nnwith nna
nnspecific nnhealth nnconcern. nnA nnfocused nnassessment nnconsists nnof nna nnthorough nnassessment nnof nna
nnparticular nnclient nnproblem nnand nndoes nnnot nncover nnareas nnnot nnrelated nnto nnthe nnproblem.
What nnis nnan nnemergency nnassessment? nn- nncorrect nnanswer-An nnemergency nnassessment nnis nna nnvery
nnrapid nnassessment nnperformed nnin nnlife-threatening nnsituations. nnIn nnsuch nnsituations nn(choking, nncardiac
nnarrest, nndrowning), nnan nnimmediate nnassessment nnis nnneeded nnto nnprovide nnprompt nntreatment. nnAn

nncirculation nn(known nnas nnthe nnABCs) nnwhen nncardiac nnarrest nnis nnsuspected.
What nnis nnthe nnpurpose nnof nna nnnursing nnhealth nnassessment? nn- nncorrect nnanswer-The nnpurpose nnof nna
nnnursing nnhealth nnassessment nnis nnto nncollect nnholistic nnsubjective nnand nnobjective nndata nnto nndetermine nna
nnclient's nnoverall nnlevel nnof nnfunctioning nnin nnorder nnto nnmake nna nnprofessional nnclinical nnjudgment. nnThe
nnnurse nncollects nnphysiologic, nnpsychological, nnsociocultural, nndevelopmental, nnand nnspiritual nndata nnabout
nnthe nnclient. nnThus nnthe nnnurse nnperforms nnholistic nndata nncollection.
