Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 134 NR 509 Week 1
According to the holistic model, a narrow definition of holistic health includes:
A. an optimal functioning of mind, body and spirit within the environment
B. The absence of disease
C. the response of the whole person to actual or potential problems
D. the internal and external environment
CORRECT ANSWER
B. the absence of disease
RATIONALE
A narrow definition of holistic health, as often contrasted with a broader, more
encompassing view, focuses solely on the absence of disease rather than the dynamic
interplay of mind, body, spirit, and environment for optimal functioning. This highlights
the principle that true holistic health transcends mere disease-free status to
encompass comprehensive well-being.
, Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 134 NR 509 Week 1
An example of subjective data is:
A. Decrease range of motion
B. crepitation in the left knee joint
C. left knee has been swollen and hot for 3 days
D. arthritis
CORRECT ANSWER
C. left knee has been swollen and hot for 3 days
RATIONALE
Subjective data is what the patient *tells* you, including their reported symptoms and
their duration, distinguishing it from objective findings like decreased range of motion
or physical signs like swelling and heat. The patient's personal account of their knee
being swollen and hot for three days represents subjective information.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 134 NR 509 Week 1
an example of objective data is:
A. a complaint of left knee pain
B. crepitation in the left knee joint
C. left knee has been swollen and hot for 3 days
D. a report of impaired mobility from left knee pain as evidence from inability to walk,
swelling and pain on passive range of motion
CORRECT ANSWER
B. crepitation in the left knee joint
RATIONALE
Crepitation is a palpable or audible grating sensation produced by the movement of
fractured bone ends or inflamed articular surfaces, making it objective data observed
by the examiner. Subjective data includes patient complaints (A), reported
observations (C), and functional impairments described by the patient (D).
, Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 134 NR 509 Week 1
Which of the following is an example of objective data?
A. Alert and oriented
B. dizziness
C. earache
D. sore throat
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Alert and oriented
RATIONALE
Objective data are measurable and observable findings, such as a patient's mental
status assessed by the nurse. Subjective data, conversely, are what the patient reports,
like dizziness, earache, or sore throat.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 134 NR 509 Week 1

A. used to collect data rapidly and is often complied concurrently with lifesaving
measures

D. used to perform a thorough or comprehensive health history and physical
examination
CORRECT ANSWER
d. used to perform a thorough or comprehensive health history and physical
examination
RATIONALE
A complete database encompasses all available health history and physical
examination findings to establish a baseline and identify all patient problems. This
comprehensive collection contrasts with focused databases used for specific, acute
issues or problem-oriented evaluations.
