A. Collecting accurate data
B. Assisting the primary care provider

, lOMoAR cPSD| 30878495




Answer: D


Rationale: The purpose of a nursing health assessment is to collect subjective and objective
data to determine a client's overall level of functioning to make a professional clinical
judgment. Collecting and validating data are means to this end. The primary purpose of
assessment is not to assist the primary care provider.

pain. Which member of the care team would most likely be responsible for collecting the
subjective data on the client during the initial comprehensive assessment?
A. Gastroenterologist
B. ED nurse
C. Admissions clerk
D. Diagnostic technician


Answer: B


Rationale: The nurse typically collects the subjective data, especially those related to the
client's overall function. However, depending on the setting, other members of the health
care team may participate in various parts of the objective data collection. Referral to a
medical specialist would not take place at this early stage of assessment.

6. The nurse has completed an initial assessment of a newly admitted client and is applying
the nursing process to plan the client's care. What principle should the nurse apply when
using the nursing process?
A. Each step is independent of the others.
B. It is ongoing and continuous.
C. It is used primarily in acute care settings.
D. It involves independent nursing actions.


Answer: B


Rationale: Although the assessment phase of the nursing process precedes other phases in the
formal nursing process, nurses are always aware that assessment is ongoing and continuous
throughout all the phases of the nursing process.
Therefore, the nursing process should be thought of as circular, not linear. Question
