NSG 316 EXAM 1
1. A nurse is conducting a general survey of an adult client during an
initial health assessment. Which finding should the nurse document
under the category of mobility?
a. Client's hygiene and grooming
b. Client's gait and range of motion
c. Client's speech clarity
d. Client’s mood and affect
Answer: b. Client's gait and range of motion
Rationale: Mobility encompasses gait and range of motion, which evaluate
a patient's physical abilities during a general survey. Documenting these
findings under mobility provides essential baseline data for function and
safety (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.151).

,2. A nurse prepares to conduct a focused assessment on a client with
complaints of shortness of breath. Which of the following should the
nurse prioritize?
a. Assessing gastrointestinal function
b. Assessing mobility and gait
c. Assessing respiratory system
d. Assessing dietary intake
Answer: c. Assessing respiratory system
Rationale: When a client presents with shortness of breath, the primary
concern is compromise of the respiratory system. A focused assessment in
this area enables the nurse to quickly identify life-threatening conditions
and prioritize interventions (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.151).
---
3. A client states, "I feel dizzy when I stand up." The nurse records
this as what type of data?
a. Objective data
b. Secondary data
c. Subjective data
d. Historical data
Answer: c. Subjective data
, Rationale: Subjective data reflects client-reported symptoms or feelings
that cannot be measured directly by the nurse. The client’s statement about
dizziness is personal and symptomatic (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.50).
---
4. During a health assessment, the nurse notices a client's speech is
slow and they seem drowsy. This observation should be recorded
under which category of the general survey?
a. Mobility
b. Appearance
c. Behavior
d. Body structure
Answer: c. Behavior
Rationale: Assessment of behavior includes evaluation of speech, mood,
level of consciousness, and cooperation. Noting slow speech and
drowsiness falls under this component (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.152).
---
5. A nurse is preparing to take a client's health history. Which action
demonstrates best practice for client safety and privacy?
a. Completing the interview at the nurse’s station
b. Ensuring a private environment to build trust and encourage sharing
