1. What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?
a. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
b. Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
c. Determining the patients mental status
d. Exploring patient responses to health problems
ANS D
A nursing assessment is done to identify the patients response to health problems. During the
nursing assessment phase, a comprehensive information base is developed through a physical
examination, nursing history, medication history, and professional observation. Identifying
underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
is not part of the nursing process. Determining the patients mental status is one part of the
nursing assessment, but it is not the primary purpose.

a. Individualized data banks of treatments related to disease processes
b. Standardized language for reporting and analyzing nursing care delivery
c. A measure for cost containment within medical institutions

of the nursing process. Classification systems are not related to disease process and are not
used for financial purposes. Classification systems include interventions for all health
conditions.
