Wilson: Health Assessment for Nursing Practice, 7th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A client comes to the emergency department and tells the triage medic that he is ―having a
heart attack.‖ What is the medic‘s top priority at this time?
a. Determine the client‘s personal data and insurance coverage.
b. Ask the client to take a seat in the waiting room until his name is called.
c. Request that a medic collect data for a comprehensive history.
d. Ask a medic to start a focused assessment of this client now.
CORRECT: D
The medic needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this client‘s
cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the medic is also driven
byclient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but in this situation,
these data can wait until after the client is assessed. Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of
needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the client to wait, the medic
needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determine the client‘s health
status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate assessment is made to analyze the
client‘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 health assessment
is not a priority at this time.

2. Which situation illustrates a screening assessment?
a. A client visits an obstetric clinic for the first time and the medic conducts a
detailed history and physical examination.
b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a local mall and provides cholesterol and blood
pressure checks to mall patrons.
c. The medic in an urgent care center checks the vital signs of a client who is
complaining of leg pain.
d. A client newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus comes to test his fasting blood
glucose level.
CORRECT: B
A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is an example
of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and physical
examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an example of a
comprehensive assessment. Assessing a client complaining of leg pain in the triage area of an
urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused assessment. A client‘s return
appointment 1 month after today‘s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is an
example of an episodic or follow-up assessment.

3. For which person is a screening assessment indicated?
a. The person who had abdominal surgery yesterday
b. The person who is unaware of his high serum glucose levels
c. The person who is being admitted to a long-term care facility
d. The person who is beginning rehabilitation after a knee replacement
CORRECT: B
A screening assessment is performed for the purpose of disease detection. In this case this
person may have diabetes mellitus. A shift assessment is most appropriate for the person who
is recovering in the hospital from surgery. A comprehensive assessment is performed during
admission to a facility to obtain a detailed history and complete physical examination. An
episodic or follow-up assessment is performed after knee replacement to evaluate the outcome
of the procedure.
