MULTIPLE CHOICE nm




1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


that he is ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priority at this time?
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


a. Determine the patient‘s personal data nm nm nm nm


and insurance coverage. nm nm nm



b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


waitingroom until his name is called. nm m

c. Request that a nurse collect data nm nm nm nm nm


for acomprehensive history. nm nm m
n nm



d. Ask a nurse to start a focused nm nm nm nm nm nm


assessment of this patient now. nm nm nm nm nm



ANS: D nm


The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


this patient‘scardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


the nurse is also drivenby patient need. Personal data and insurance information
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


will be obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


is assessed. Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determinethe patient‘s health status.
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm m
n nm nm nm


Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


the patient‘s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not indicated in this situation
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


at this time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies and medical
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


history related to cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete musculoskeletal
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


or mental health assessment is not a priority at this time.

ANS: B nm


A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


an example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


history and physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


clinic is an exampleof a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


complaining of leg pain in the triage area of an urgent care center is an example
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


of a problem-based/focused assessment. A patient‘s return appointment 1 month
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


after today‘s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is an example of
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm


an episodic or follow-up assessment.
