NSG 521 Module 13 Comprehensive
Health Assessment Questions and
Correct Answers the Latest Update
In urgent cases, gather pertinent subjective and objective assessment data

related to the problem to assist with identifying the cause and then intervene

promptly. Treat the patient as you continue to collect, analyze, and prioritize

data. You may need to request additional nursing assistance, contact the

primary provider, activate a rapid response, or initiate a code team.


✓ Fact



Subjective data collection involves assessing present problems, taking health

history, and evaluating risk factors. Give the patient time and encouragement to

tell his or her story and experience of health or illness. Doing so provides an

opportunity for the patient to express concerns; it often forms the foundation

for a therapeutic relationship. If the patient is anxious, acknowledge that it is

common to feel uncomfortable at times; give the patient permission to disclose

only information that he or she feels comfortable disclosing. In addition, inform

the patient that the information is confidential except in situations where there

is concern about safety or harm.


✓ Fact



If the patient is stable, you may perform the history first and then complete the

physical examination. Alternatively, you may thread collection of subjective data

throughout the physical examination (e.g., asking about cough when

auscultating the lungs). After reviewing the patient chart, formulate a list of

initial problems or topics to discuss, including health promotion and risk

reduction assessment. You usually take the history with the patient clothed

because most patients are more comfortable when covered.


✓ Fact



The nurse performs the first assessment on the hospitalized patient and

documents it in the chart as the comprehensive assessment.


✓ True



Assessments are prioritized by airway, breathing, and circulation, so the nurse

should prioritize assessment of a patient with shortness of breath over other

more stable patients.


✓ True



The nurse gathers subjective data related to the history of the present problem.

Which of the following items are included? Select all that apply.


✓ Onset, location, duration, character, aggravating/associated factors, relieving factors,
temporal factors, severity



General survey: Fever, chills, change in weight and cause, fatigue

Nutrition: Nausea, loss of appetite, increase in appetite, vomiting, indigestion,

diarrhea, problems swallowing or chewing
