Chapter 1 health Assessment test bank1. A patient comes to the emergency department and tells the triage nurse that he is "having a
heart attack." What is the nurse's top priority at this time? a. Determine the patient's personal
data and insurance coverage. b. Ask the patient to take a seat in the waiting room til his name is
called. c. Request that a nurse collect data for a comprehensive history. d. Ask a nurse to start a
focused assessment of this pa- tient now. - ANS Feedback A Personal data and insurance
information will be ob- tained, but in this situation, this data can wait until af- ter the patient is
assessed. B Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data collection,
such as vital signs, im- mediately to determine the patient's health status. CA comprehensive
history is not indicated in this situa- tion at this time. Some subjective data will be collected,
such as allergies and medical history related to cardio- vascular disease. D The nurse needs to
begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this patient's cardiovascular
system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is also driven by patient need.
