MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A client comes to the emergency department and tells the triage caregiver that he is
―having a heart attack.‖ What is the caregiver‘s top priority at this time?
a. Determine the client‘s personal data and insurance coverage.
b. Ask the client to take a seat in the waiting room until his name is called.
c. Request that a caregiver collect data for a comprehensive history.
d. Ask a caregiver to start a focused assessment of this client now.
SELECT ANSWER: - D
Feedback:->>The caregiver needs to begin an assessment as soon as possible that is focused
on this client‘s cardiovascular system. The type of health assessment performed by the
caregiver is also driven by client need. Personal data and insurance information will be
obtained, but in this situation, these data can wait until after the client is assessed. Based also
on Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, physiologic needs take precedence. Rather than asking the
client to wait, the caregiver needs to begin data collection, such as vital signs, immediately to
determine the client‘s health status. Complications can be prevented if an immediate
assessment is made to analyze the client‘s symptoms. A comprehensive history is not
indicated in this situation at this time. Some subjective data will be collected, such as allergies
and medical history related to cardiovascular disease. Eyes, ears, or a complete
musculoskeletal or mental health assessment is not a priority at this time.

2. Which situation illustrates a screening assessment?
a. A client visits an obstetric clinic for the first time and the caregiver
conducts a detailed history and physical examination.
b. A health center sponsors a health fair at a local mall and provides cholesterol and
blood pressure checks to mall patrons.
c. The caregiver in an urgent care center checks the vital signs of a client who
is complaining of leg pain.
d. A client newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus comes to test his fasting blood
glucose level.
SELECT ANSWER:- B
Feedback:->>A health fair at a local mall that provides cholesterol and blood pressure checks
is an example of a screening assessment focused on disease detection. A detailed history and
physical examination conducted during a first-time visit to an obstetric clinic is an example of
a comprehensive assessment. Assessing a client complaining of leg pain in the triage area of
an urgent care center is an example of a problem-based/focused assessment. A client‘s return
appointment 1 month after today‘s office visit to report fasting blood glucose levels is an
example of an episodic or follow-up assessment.
