What type of database is most appropriate when the rapid collection of data is
required and often compiled concurrently with lifesaving measures?
a. Complete
b. Focused
c. Follow-up
d. Emergency
d. Emergency
RATIONALE :>>> An emergency database includes the rapid collection of data
often obtained concurrently with lifesaving measures. A focused database is for a
limited or short-term problem; this database concerns mainly one problem, one
cue complex, or one body system. A follow-up database is used to follow up on
short-term or chronic health problems; the statuses of identified problems are
evaluated at regular and appropriate intervals. A complete database includes a
complete health history and a full physical examination; it describes the current
and past health state and forms a baseline against which all future changes can be
measured.
A nurse precepting a student nurse asks, "What's the most important step in the
critical-thinking process?"
a. Clustering subjective and objective data
,b. Analyzing health data
c. Using evidence-based assessment techniques
d. Prioritizing health concerns
c. Using evidence-based assessment techniques
RATIONALE :>>> Evidence-based techniques are supported by research
showing effectiveness of the technique that provides the safest and most current
techniques to promote the health of patients. Clustering subjective and objective
data is a step in the critical-thinking process, but is not the most important step.
Analyzing health data is a step in the critical-thinking process, but is not the most
important step. Prioritizing health concerns is a step in the critical-thinking
process, but is not the most important step.
What type of database is most appropriate for an individual who is admitted to a
long-term care facility?
a. Focused
b. Complete
c. Emergency
d. Follow-up
b. Complete

RATIONALE :>>> Subjective data is what the patient says about himself or
herself during history taking. Objective data is what the health professional
observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating during the
physical examination. Blood glucose is measured by using a drop of blood placed
on a test strip in a glucometer. Bruising is assessed by inspection. Heart rate is
, assessed by palpation of the radial artery or auscultated with a stethoscope when
listening to heart sounds.
A complete database is
a. used to collect data rapidly and is often compiled concurrently with lifesaving
measures.
b. used to evaluate the cause or etiology of disease.
c. used for a limited or short-term problem usually consisting of one problem, one
cue complex, or one body system.
d. used to perform a thorough or comprehensive health history and physical
examination.
