Chapter 01: Evidence-Based Assessment
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his respirations are eupneic and
his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would be:
a. Objective.
b. Reflective.
c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
ANS: A
Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating
during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him or herself during history
taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension) REF: p. 2

a. Objective.
b. Reflective.
c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
ANS: C
Subjective data are what the person says about him or herself during history taking. Objective data are what the
health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating during the physical
examination. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

4. When listening to a patients breath sounds, the nurse is unsure of a sound that is heard. The nurses next
action should be to:

b. Document the sound exactly as it was heard.
c. Validate the data by asking a coworker to listen to the breath sounds.
d. Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
ANS: C

to make their decisions using:
a. Intuition.
b. A set of rules.
c. Articles in journals.
d. Advice from supervisors.
ANS: B
