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
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.

What is the basis of the NANDA I taxonomy?
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.

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.
Nursing diagnoses identify causes related to illness.
ANS: C

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.
