1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse that he is “having a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
heart attack.” What is the nurse’s top priority at this time?
f f f f f f f f f f f
a. Determine the patient’s personal data and insurance coverage. f f f f f f f
b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the waiting room until his name is called.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
c. Request that a nurse collect data for a comprehensive history. f f f f f f f f f
d. Ask a nurse to start a focused assessment of this patient now.
f f f f f f f f f f f
ANS: D f
The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this patient’s
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is also driven by
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but in this situation,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
these data can wait until after the patient is assessed. Based also on Maslow’s hierarchy of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determine the patient’s health
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
patient’s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation at this time.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical history related to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal or mental health assessment
f f f f f f f f f f f f
is not a priority at this time.
