MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. 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 Until 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 Patient Now.
ANS: 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. Personal Data And Insurance Information
Will Be Obtained, But In This Situation, These Data Can Wait Until After The Patient
Is Assessed. Based Also On Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, Physiologic Needs Take
Precedence. Rather Than Asking The Patient To Wait, The Nurse Needs To Begin
Data Collection, Such As Vital Signs, Immediately To Determine The Patient’s
Health Status. Complications Can Be Prevented If An Immediate Assessment Is Made
To Analyze The Patient’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 Patient Visits An Obstetric Clinic For The First Time And The Nurse Conducts

And Blood Pressure Checks To Mall Patrons.
C. The Nurse In An Urgent Care Center Checks The Vital Signs Of A Patient Who Is
Complaining Of Leg Pain.
D. A Patient Newly Diagnosed With Diabetes Mellitus Comes To Test His Fasting
Blood Glucose Level.
ANS: 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
Patient Complaining Of Leg Pain In The Triage Area Of An Urgent Care Center Is
An Example Of A Problem-Based/Focused Assessment. A Patient’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.
