• What is the primary purpose of the nursing assessment?
• Identifying underlying pathologic conditions
• Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions
• Determining the patients mental status
• Exploring patient responses to health problems
K
ANS: D
N
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
BA
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.

• Functional health patterns

• Human response patterns
• Basic human needs
• Pathophysiologic needs
ANS: B
The NANDA I taxonomy identifies human response patterns. Functional
components of health patterns are limited to activity, fluid volume,
nutrition, self care, and sensory perception. Basic human needs comprise
less than merely health patterns. Pathophysiologic needs are not part of
the scope of NANDA I.

• Which statement regarding nursing diagnoses is accurate?
ST
• Nursing diagnoses remain the same for as long as the disease is present.
• Nursing diagnoses are written to identify disease states.
• Nursing diagnoses describe patient problems that nurses treat.
TE
• Nursing diagnoses identify causes related to illness.
ANS: C
Diagnostic statements identify problems a nurse is independently able to
treat within the scope of professional practice. Nursing diagnoses vary
with the changing condition of the patient. The response patterns are
unique to the patient and are not disease specific. Nursing diagnoses
describe the patients human response pattern.

Nursing classification systems such as NIC and NOC are designed to

• Which type of nursing diagnosis will be written when the

development of a problem?

TE
• Risk diagnosis
• Possible diagnosis
• Wellness diagnosis
ANS: B
When patients have the potential or risk for a problem to develop, a risk
diagnosis is written. These diagnoses are two part statements such as Risk
for falls related to unsteady gait. An actual diagnosis consists of a
NANDA diagnostic label, contributing factor (if known), and defining
characteristics such as signs and symptoms. A possible nursing diagnosis
,identifies a problem that may occur, but the assembled data are
insufficient to confirm it. A wellness diagnosis applies to individuals for
whom an enhanced level of wellness is possible.

• Administer Demerol 50 mg intramuscularly (IM) every 4 hours PRN.
• Encourage the patient to express feelings.
ANS: C
Administer Demerol 50 mg IM every 4 hours PRN requires the nurse to
follow the parameters of the order, yet use nursing judgment to determine
how often the medication is to be administered; therefore, it is an
, interdependent nursing action. Assessing lung sounds, educating the

are independent nursing actions.

information about a complete patient history. The patient record reflects
