The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
this patient‘scardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
the nurse is also drivenby patient need. Personal data and insurance information
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
will be obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
is assessed. Based also on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
precedence. Rather than asking the patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
collection, such as vital signs, immediately to determinethe 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.
