PART I: Nursing Process & Critical Thinking
High-Yield Questions 1-25
1. A nursing student is preparing to care for a patient with a new
diagnosis of diabetes. The student reviews the patient's medical
record, gathers necessary equipment, and anticipates potential
complications. This represents which phase of the nursing process?
A) Assessment
B) Diagnosis
C) Planning
D) Implementation
Answer: C) Planning
Rationale: The nursing process consists of five phases: Assessment,
Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADPIE).
,3|Page
Planning involves setting priorities, identifying patient-centered goals,
and anticipating interventions. The student is preparing for care,
reviewing data, and anticipating complications—all components of the
planning phase. Assessment is data collection. Diagnosis is identifying
the nursing problem. Implementation is performing interventions.
Evaluation is determining if goals were met.
2. A nurse gathers data about a patient's vital signs, medical history,
and current symptoms. This is an example of:
A) Subjective data collection
B) Objective data collection
C) Both subjective and objective data
D) Evaluation
Answer: C) Both subjective and objective data
Rationale: Subjective data are information provided by the patient
(symptoms, feelings, perceptions) and cannot be verified by the nurse.
Objective data are observable and measurable (vital signs, physical
assessment findings, laboratory results). Vital signs and medical history
(from the record) are objective; current symptoms reported by the
patient are subjective. Comprehensive assessment includes both types.
3. Which nursing diagnosis is written correctly according to
NANDA-I format?
A) Risk for falls related to dizziness
B) Impaired Physical Mobility related to pain as evidenced by patient
reluctance to move
C) Pain related to surgical incision
D) Impaired Skin Integrity
, 4|Page
Answer: B) Impaired Physical Mobility related to pain as evidenced
by patient reluctance to move
Rationale: A properly written NANDA-I nursing diagnosis includes: (1)
the diagnostic label (Impaired Physical Mobility), (2) the related factor
(related to pain), and (3) the defining characteristics (as evidenced by
patient reluctance to move). Option A lacks defining characteristics.
Option C lacks defining characteristics. Option D is incomplete—it only
states the label without related factor or defining characteristics.
4. A nurse identifies that a patient's blood pressure is 160/90 mm Hg
and the patient reports a headache. The nurse sets a goal to lower
blood pressure to 140/80 within 24 hours. This is an example of:
A) Nursing diagnosis
B) Expected outcome
C) Nursing intervention
D) Assessment finding
Answer: B) Expected outcome
Rationale: Expected outcomes are measurable, realistic statements that
indicate the patient's status after nursing interventions. The goal "lower
blood pressure to 140/80 within 24 hours" is measurable (specific
numbers), realistic, and time-bound. This is a patient-centered outcome,
not a nursing diagnosis (which identifies the problem) or an intervention
(which is the action taken).
5. A patient with heart failure has a nursing diagnosis of "Excess
Fluid Volume related to compromised regulatory mechanism as
evidenced by edema and weight gain." The nurse weighs the patient
daily and finds a 3-pound weight gain in 24 hours. The nurse
