MULTIPLE CHOICE `




1. All of the following would be considered subjective data, EXCEPT:
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



a. Patient-reported health history ` `



b. Patient-reported signs and symptoms of their illness ` ` ` ` ` `



c. Financial barriers reported bythe patient‘s caregiver ` ` ` ` ` `



d. Vital signs obtained from the medical record
` ` ` ` ` `




ANS: D `



Subjective data is based on what patients or family members communicate to the nurse. Patient-
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



reported health history, signs and symptoms, and caregiver reported financial barriers would be
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



considered subjective data. Vital signs obtained from the medical record would be considered
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



objective data.

2. The nurse is using data collected to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



outcomes. Which of the following steps is the nurse applying?
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



a. Recognizingcues (assessment) ` `



b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis) ` ` ` ` `



c. Generatesolutions (planning) ` `

, d. Takeaction (nursinginterventions) ` ` `




ANS: C `



When generating solutions (planning), the nurse identifies expected outcomes and uses the patient‘s
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



problem(s) to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable outcomes. Recognizing
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



cues (assessment) involves the gathering of cues (information) from the patient about their health
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



and lifestyle practices, which are important facts that aid the nurse in making clinical care decisions.
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



Prioritizing hypothesis is used to organize and rank the patient problem(s) identified. Finally, taking
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



action involves implementation of nursing interventions to accomplish the expected outcomes.

3. A 5-year-old child with type 1 diabetes mellitus has had repeated hospitalizations for episodes of
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



hyperglycemia. The parents tell the nurse that they can‘t keep track of everything that has to be done
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



to care for their child. The nurse reviews medications, diet, and symptom management with the
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



parents and draws up a daily checklist for the family to use. These activities are completed in which
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



step of the nursing process?
` ` ` ` `



a. Recognizingcues (assessment) ` `

,b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis)
` ` ` ` `

, c. Generatesolutions (planning) ` `



d. Takeaction (nursinginterventions)
` ` ` ` `




ANS: D `



Taking action through nursinginterventions is where the nurse provides patient health teaching, drug
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



administration, patient care, and other interventions necessary to assist the patient in accomplishing
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



expected outcomes.

4. The nurse is preparing to administer a medication and reviews the patient‘s chart for drug
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



allergies, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The nurse‘s actions are
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



reflective of which of the following?
` ` ` ` ` `



a. Recognizingcues (assessment) ` `



b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis) ` ` ` ` `



c. Takeaction (nursinginterventions) ` ` `



d. Generatesolutions (planning) ` `




ANS: A `



Recognizing cues (assessment) involves gathering subjective and objective information about the
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



patient and the medication. Laboratory values from the patient‘s chart would be considered
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



collection of objective data.

5. Which of the following would be correctly categorized as objective data?
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



a. A list of herbal supplements regularlyused provided bythe patient.
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



b. Lab values associated with the drugs the patient is taking.
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



c. Theages and relationship of all household members to the patient.
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



d. Usual dietarypatterns and food intake. ` ` ` ` `




ANS: B `



Objective data are measured and detected byanother person and would include lab values. The other
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



examples are subjective data.

6. The nurse reviews a patient‘s database and learns that the patient lives alone, is forgetful, and does
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



not have an established routine. The patient will be sent home with three new medications to be
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



taken at different times of the day. The nurse develops a dailymedication chart and enlists a family
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



member to put the patient‘s pills in a pill organizer. This is an example of which element of the
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



nursing process?
` `



a. Recognizingcues (assessment) ` `



b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis) ` ` ` ` `



c. Takeaction (nursinginterventions) ` ` `
