His Respirations Are Eupneic And His Pulse Is 58 Beats Per Minute. What Type Of
Assessment Data Is This?
A. Objective
B. Reflective
C. Subjective
D. Introspective

Palpating, And Auscultating During The Physical Examination. Subjective Data Is
What The Person Says About Him Or Herself During History Taking. The Terms
Reflective And Introspective Are Not Used To Describe Data.
B. Reflective: This Term Typically Refers To A Process Of Thinking Deeply About
One's Experiences And Is Not Used To Categorize Data In Patient Assessments.
C. Subjective: This Involves Information Shared By The Patient About Their Feelings
Or Symptoms, Not The Nurse's Direct Observations.
D. Introspective: This Pertains To Self-Examination Of One's Thoughts And Feelings,
Which Does Not Apply To Clinical Data Collection.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension)
,MSC: Client Needs: Safe And Effective Care Environment: Management Of Care
2. A Patient Tells The Nurse That He Is Very Nervous, Nauseous, And “Feels Hot.”
What Type Of Assessment Data Is This?
A. Objective

D. Introspective
ANS: C
Subjective Data Is What The Person Says About Him Or Herself During History
Taking. Objective Data Is What The Health Professional Observes By Inspecting,
Percussing, Palpating, And Auscultating During The Physical Examination. The
Terms Reflective And Introspective Are Not Used To Describe Data.
A. Objective: This Would Involve Measurable Data Collected By The Nurse, Such As
Vital Signs Or Lab Results, Rather Than The Patient's Self-Reported Symptoms.
B. Reflective: This Term Relates To Introspection And Does Not Apply To
Categorizing The Type Of Data Collected During Patient Assessments.
D. Introspective: This Indicates A Focus On Self-Reflection Rather Than On
Reporting Health Data And Symptoms Relevant To Patient Care.

Time Of A Patient's Admission And Does Not Encompass The Ongoing Patient
Record Or Laboratory Studies.
C. Financial Statement: This Is Unrelated To Patient Health Information; It Concerns
Billing And Financial Aspects Of Healthcare.
D. Discharge Summary: This Is A Document Summarizing A Patient’s Hospital Stay,
But It Does Not Reflect The Entirety Of The Patient's Ongoing Records And Data.

B. Document The Sound Exactly As It Was Heard.
, C. Validate The Data By Asking Another Nurse To Listen To The Breath Sounds.
D. Assess Again In 20 Minutes To Note Whether The Sound Is Still Present.
ANS: C
When Unsure Of A Sound Heard While Listening To A Patient’s Breath Sounds, The
Nurse Validates The Data To Ensure Accuracy By Either Repeating The Assessment
Themselves Or Asking Another Nurse To Assess The Breath Sounds. If The Nurse
Has Less Experience Analyzing Breath Sounds, Then He Or She Should Ask An
Expert To Listen. When Unsure Of A Sound Heard While Listening To A Patient’s
Breath Sounds, The Nurse Should Validate The Data Before Documenting To Ensure
Accuracy And Before Notifying The Patient’s Physician. To Validate That Data, The
Nurse Either Repeats The Assessment Himself Or Herself Or Asks Another Nurse To
Assess The Breath Sounds.
A. Notify The Patient’s Physician: This Should Occur After Validating The Findings,
Not As The First Response To Uncertainty.
B. Document The Sound Exactly As It Was Heard: This Could Lead To Inaccuracies;
Documentation Should Reflect Validated Observations.
D. Assess Again In 20 Minutes: This Delay Could Be Detrimental; Immediate
Validation Is Preferred To Ensure Timely And Appropriate Care.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyzing (Analysis)
MSC: Client Needs: Safe And Effective Care Environment: Management Of Care
