Enp Physical Assessment Questions
And Answers With Verified Solution
100% Correct Latest Updated 2024
1. A patient who is actively bleeding is admitted to the emergency department.
Which approach should the nurse use to obtain an accurate health history?
a. Briefly interview the patient while obtaining vital signs.
b. Obtain subjective data about the patient from family members.
c. Omit subjective data collection and obtain the physical examination.
d. Use the health care provider's medical history to obtain subjective data. -
ANSWER✔✔ Answer: a.
Briefly interview the patient while obtaining vital signs.
Rationale: In an emergency situation, the nurse may need to ask only the most
pertinent questions for a specific problem and obtain more information later. A
complete health history will include subjective information that is not available in
the health care provider's medical history. Family members may be able to
provide some data, but only the patient will be able to give subjective information
about the bleeding. Because the subjective data about the cause of the patient's
bleeding will be essential, obtaining the physical examination alone will not
provide sufficient information.


Immediate surgery is planned for a patient with acute abdominal pain. Which
question by the nurse will elicit direct information about the patient's coping-
stress tolerance pattern?
a. "Can you rate your pain on a 0 to 10 scale?"
b. "What do you think caused this abdominal pain?"
c. "Are there other problems or concerns right now?"

d. "How do you feel about yourself and being hospitalized?" - ANSWER✔✔
Answer: c.

, "Are there other problems or concerns right now?"
Rationale: The coping-stress tolerance pattern includes information about other
major stressors confronting the patient. The health perception-health
management pattern includes information about the patient's ideas about risk
factors. Feelings about self and the hospitalization are assessed in the self-
perception-self-concept pattern. Intensity of pain is part of the cognitive-
perceptual pattern.


During the health history interview, a patient tells the nurse about periodic
fainting spells. Which question should the nurse ask to elicit any associated
clinical manifestations?
a. "How frequently do you have the fainting spells?"
b. "Do the spells occur at any particular time of day?"
c. "Where are you when you have the fainting spells?"

d. "Do you have other symptoms along with the spells?" - ANSWER✔✔ Answer: d.
"Do you have other symptoms along with the spells?"
Rationale: Asking about other associated symptoms will provide the nurse more
information about all the clinical manifestations related to the fainting spells.
Information about the setting is obtained by asking where the patient was and
what the patient was doing when the symptom occurred. The other questions
from the nurse are appropriate for obtaining information about chronology and
frequency.


The nurse records the following general survey: "The patient is a 50-year-old
Asian female accompanied by her husband and two daughters. Alert and
oriented. Does not make eye contact with the nurse and responds slowly, but
appropriately, to questions. No apparent disabilities or distinguishing features."
What additional information should the nurse add to this general survey?
a. Nutritional status
