1. Questions
1. 1.ID: 9477077870
A nurse performing a physical assessment of a client gathers both subjective
and objective data. Which finding would the nurse document as subjective
data?
A. The client appears anxious.
B. Blood pressure is 170/80 mm Hg.
C. The client states that he has a rash. Correct
D. The client has diminished reflexes in the legs.
Rationale: The purpose of a physical assessment is to collect both subjective
and objective data. Subjective data, collected during the health history, consist
of information that the client gives about himself or herself. Objective data are
obtained through physical examination and vital signs measurements, what the
nurse observes, and laboratory study and diagnostic test results.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate the options that are comparable or alike and
include data that the nurse would obtain during the physical examination.
Review: the difference between subjective and objective data .

3. 3.ID: 9477071188
A nurse is making an initial home visit to a client with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease who was recently discharged from the hospital. Which type
of database does the nurse use to obtain information from the client?
A. Episodic
B. Follow-up
C. Emergency
D. Complete Correct
Rationale: A complete database includes a complete health history and a full
physical examination. It describes the client’s current and past state of health
and forms a baseline against which all future changes can be measured. The
complete database is collected in a primary care setting such as a pediatric or
family practice clinic, an independent or group private practice, a college health
service, a women’s healthcare agency, a visiting nurse agency, or a community
health agency. An episodic database is compiled for a limited or short-term
problem and is focused mainly on one problem or one body system. A follow-up
database is used to evaluate an identified problem at regular and appropriate
intervals. An emergency database involves the rapid collection of the data that
are often compiled as lifesaving measures are being performed.
Test-Taking Strategy: Noting the words “initial home visit” in the question will
direct you to the correct option. Review: the different types of databases .
