NURSING PROCESS "ASSESSMENT"
A nursing student tells the clinical instructor that their patient is fine and has
"no complaints." Which question by the faculty coaches the student to provide
evidence that supports their assessments?


A. "Could you tell me how you validated this?"
B. "Do you think your patient feels free to share their concerns?"
C. "That's good to hear. Tell me about the care you provided."
D. "Please reassess the patient; they were admitted with a serious problem."
A. "Could you tell me how you validated this?"


The instructor is reminding the student that all data must be validated.
Questioning the use of the word "fine" allows the nurse to determine if this is a
social and reflexive response, and there may be another need the nurse can
meet. Concluding that the patient does not trust the student is premature and
is based on an invalidated inference. Saying "That's good to hear" and asking
the student to describe the care provided is incorrect because it accepts the
invalidated inference. Telling the student to reassess the patient because they
were admitted with a serious problem is incorrect because it is possible that
the condition is resolving.




A nursery nurse notifies the nurse practitioner (NP) that a newborn has signs
of jaundice. The NP performs a brief skin assessment, then orders a blood
test for bilirubin levels. Which type of assessment has the NP performed?


A. Comprehensive
B. Initial
C. Time-lapsed

,D. Quick priority
D. Quick priority


A quick priority assessment (QPA) is a short, focused assessment to obtain
the most important information first. A comprehensive initial assessment is
performed shortly after admission. The time-lapsed assessment is used to
compare a patient's current status to baseline data obtained earlier.




The nurse is admitting a pregnant patient to the hospital for treatment of
pregnancy-induced hypertension. The patient asks the nurse, "Why are you
doing a history and physical exam when the doctor just did one?" What
statements will the nurse use to explain the primary purpose of the nursing
assessment? Select all that apply.


A. "The nursing assessment will allow us to plan and deliver individualized,
holistic nursing care that draws on your strengths."
B. "It's hospital policy. I know we ask a lot of questions, but I will try to make
this quick."
C. "As a nursing student, I need to develop assessment skills about your
health status and need for nursing care."
D. "This validates that your responses with the medical exam are consistent
and that all our data are accurate."
E. "I will check your health status and see what kind of nursing care you may
need."
F. "This is to determine the nece
A. "The nursing assessment will allow us to plan and deliver individualized,
holistic nursing care that draws on your strengths."
E. "I will check your health status and see what kind of nursing care you may
need."

, F. "This is to determine the necessity for referring your nursing care needs to
a health care provider."


Medical assessments target data pointing to pathologic conditions, whereas
nursing assessments focus on the patient's responses to actual and potential
health problems. The initial comprehensive nursing assessment results in
baseline data that enable the nurse to make a judgment about a patient's
health status, the ability to manage their own health care and the need for
nursing. It also helps nurses plan and deliver individualized, holistic nursing
care that draws on the patient's strengths and promotes optimum functioning,
independence, and well-being, and enables the nurse to refer the finding(s) to
the health care provider or collaborate with other health care professionals
where indicated. Citing hospital policy or student learning is a secondary
reason, and although it may be true that a nurse may need to develop
assessment skills, it is not the main reason for a nursing history and
assessment. The assessment augments the medical examination but is not
performed to check its accuracy.

C. Conduct and document an emergency assessment

D. Perform and document a focused assessment of skin integrity
