,Chapter 1: The Nurse's Role in Health Assessment
Multiple Choice
1. What is one of the priority goals of nursing practice?
A) To influence private policy
B) To further the interests of the nursing profession
C) To promote privacy in health care
D) To advocate for patients and communities
Ans: D
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Population
Competency Category: Health and Wellness
Difficulty: Moderate
Objective: 1
Page and Header: 5, Advocacy
Taxonomic Level: Knowledge
Feedback: Nurses engage in many activities in the course of nursing practice.
Among the most important goals of the nurse is the advocacy role of the nurse. This
role supersedes the importance of promoting the profession and promoting privacy,
even though both are laudable goals. Nurses normally aim to influence public, not
private, policy.
2. What do nursing activities that promote health and prevent disease primarily
accomplish?
A) Reduce an individual's risk of illness
B) Reduce recovery times
C) Optimize self-care abilities
D) Create home care safety
Ans: A
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Population
Competency Category: Health and Wellness
Difficulty: Easy
Objective: 3
Page and Header: 6, Wellness and Health Promotion
Taxonomic Level: Analysis
Feedback: Nursing activities that promote health and prevent illness reduce the risk
of disease. These activities are not primarily focused on reducing recovery times,
,optimizing self-care, or creating home safety, though each of these outcomes is
congruent with the philosophy of health promotion.
3. The purpose of a health assessment includes what?
A) Identifying the patient's major disease process
B) Collecting information about the health status of the patient
C) Clarifying the patient's extended health care benefits
D) Explaining the patient's overall health to him or her
Ans: B
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Individual
Competency Category: Changes in Health
Difficulty: Moderate
Objective: 2
Page and Header: 5, Purposes of Health Assessment
Taxonomic Level: Analysis
Feedback: Health assessment is the collection of subjective and objective data to
develop a database about a patient's health status (past and present), health
concerns, and usual coping mechanisms so that an individualized care plan can be
created. The patient's health care coverage is not a component of health assessment,
and it is not normally the nurse's role to explain the patient's overall health or identify
particular diseases.
4. The nurse is conducting a physical assessment. The data the nurse would collect
vary depending primarily on what factor?
A) How much time the nurse has
B) The patient's acuity
C) The patient's cooperation
D) Onset of current symptoms
Ans: B
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Individual
Competency Category: Changes in Health
Difficulty: Easy
Objective: 5
Page and Header: 10, Types of Health Assessments
Taxonomic Level: Comprehension
Feedback: Data that nurses collect during a physical assessment vary depending on
a patient's acuity, health history, and current symptoms. The data collected during a
physical assessment do not depend on how much time the nurse has, how cooperative
the patient is, or the onset of the current symptoms.
, 5. A nursing instructor is discussing the purposes of health assessment. What is a
priority purpose of health assessment?
A) To establish a database against which subsequent assessments can be measured
B) To establish rapport with the patient and family
C) To gather information for specialists to whom the patient might be referred
D) To quantify the degree of pain a patient may be experiencing
Ans: A
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Individual
Competency Category: Changes in Health
Difficulty: Moderate
Objective: 2
Page and Header: 5, Purposes of Health Assessment
Taxonomic Level: Analysis
Feedback: Health assessment is the collection of subjective and objective data to
develop a database about a patient's health status (past and present), health
concerns, and usual coping mechanisms so that an individualized care plan can be
created. Rapport is important but is not a priority goal of health assessment. It is not
normally the nurse's role to gather data for specialists. Pain assessment is an
important component of most assessments but is not a primary purpose for
assessment.
6. How do nurses primarily facilitate the achievement of high-level wellness with a
patient?
A) By encouraging the patient to keep appointments
B) By providing information on alternative treatments
C) By promoting patients' health
D) By providing efficient patient care
Ans: C
Age Group: All Age Groups
Chapter: 1
Client Type: Individual
Competency Category: Health and Wellness
Difficulty: Easy
Objective: 3
Page and Header: 6, Wellness and Health Promotion
Taxonomic Level: Analysis
Feedback: High-level wellness is a process by which people maintain balance and
direction in the most favourable environment. The role of nurses is to facilitate this
achievement through health promotion and teaching. Nurses do not necessarily
facilitate the achievement of high-level wellness by encouraging patients to keep
appointments, providing information on alternative treatments, or providing
“efficienct” patient care.
