TEST BANK For Essential Health Assessment 2nd Edition
By Thompson - Latest Complete Guide 2024
Chapter 1. Understanding Health Assessment
Question 1
Type: MCSA
The nurse is obtaining a health history from a client who reports that he is healthy and
has no health concerns. As part of the health history, the nurse documents that the
client reported that he has high blood pressure and suffers from a leg ulcer that remains
unhealed after 6 months. Which of the following statements would be the best choice for
the nurse to use at this point in the interview?
1. I feel that you may be in denial about your health status.
2. Tell me about your definition of being healthy.
3. Do you understand what hypertension is?
4. Is there anything else you are not telling me?
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: More information would be needed before the nurse could attribute the
clients viewpoint as denial or lack of knowledge.
Rationale 2: A client will have his or her own definition of health, illness, and wellness.
The individual's concept of health and wellness is influenced by many factors, including
age, gender, race, family, culture, religion, socioeconomic conditions, environment,
previous experiences, and self-expectations.
Rationale 3: The client's history of hypertension is a valid area requiring further
investigation but the nurse must first ascertain the clients definition of healthy.
Rationale 4: There is not enough information to determine the clients withholding of
information to the nurse.

Rationale 4: This is the P component, plan.
Global Rationale: The A component of the SOAP note refers to conclusions drawn
from the subjective and objective data obtained. The client's recent loss of employment
and the potential that this was a contributing factor in the inability to afford medications
is an example of a conclusion. The clients reported blood pressure would be an
example of objective data. Objective data is information that can be measured by the
examiner. Blood pressure is not an example of subjective information nor is it a
conclusion. The clients reported loss of employment and insurance is an example of
subjective data. The statement does not include conclusions as to the results of these
events. Making referrals to social services is an example of an intervention. It is not a
conclusion.
