MULTIPLE CHOICE b-g
1.Apatient comes to the emergencydepartment and tells the triage nurse that he
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
is ―having a heart attack.‖ What is the nurse‘s top priority at this time?

a. Determine the patient‘s personaldata and b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
insurance coverage.

b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
room until his name is called.
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g
c. Request that a nurse collect data for a b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
comprehensive history.
g b-g
d. Ask a nurse to start a focused assessment
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
of this patient now.
g b-g b-g b-g
ANSWER: D b-g
The nurse needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused on this
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
patient‘s cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the nurse is
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
also driven by patient need. Personal data and insurance information will be obtained, but
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
in this situation, these data can wait until after the patient is assessed. Based also on
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
patient to wait, the nurse needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
determine the patient‘s health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
assessment is made to analyze the patient‘s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
indicated in this situation at this time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
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.

b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g
a. A patient visits an obstetric clinic for the b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
first time and the nurse conducts a detailed g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
history and physical examination. g b-g b-g b-g
b. A hospital sponsors a health fair at a local b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
mall and provides cholesterol and blood g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
pressure checks to mall patrons. g b-g b-g b-g b-g

the vital signs of a patient who is g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
complaining of leg pain. g b-g b-g b-g

glucose level.
g b-g
ANSWER: B b-g
A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks is an
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and

physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an example
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
of a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a patient complaining of leg pain in the triage
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
area of an urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused assessment. A

patient‘s return appointment 1 month after today‘s office visit to report fasting blood
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-
