NSG 316 EXAM 1

• A nurse is conducting a general survey of an adult client during an

initial health assessment. Which finding should the nurse document under the category of mobility?

• Client's hygiene and grooming
• Client's gait and range of motion
• Client's speech clarity
• Client’s mood and affect

Answer: b. Client's gait and range of motion

Rationale: Mobility encompasses gait and range of motion, which evaluate

a patient's physical abilities during a general survey. Documenting these findings under mobility provides essential baseline data for function and safety (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.151).

• A nurse prepares to conduct a focused assessment on a client with

complaints of shortness of breath. Which of the following should the nurse prioritize?

• Assessing gastrointestinal function
• Assessing mobility and gait
• Assessing respiratory system
• Assessing dietary intake

Answer: c. Assessing respiratory system

Rationale: When a client presents with shortness of breath, the primary

concern is compromise of the respiratory system. A focused assessment in this area enables the nurse to quickly identify life-threatening conditions and prioritize interventions (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.151).

• A client states, "I feel dizzy when I stand up." The nurse records

this as what type of data?

• Objective data
• Secondary data
• Subjective data
• Historical data

Answer: c. Subjective data 3 / 4

Rationale: Subjective data reflects client-reported symptoms or feelings

that cannot be measured directly by the nurse. The client’s statement about dizziness is personal and symptomatic (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.50).

---

• During a health assessment, the nurse notices a client's speech is

slow and they seem drowsy. This observation should be recorded under which category of the general survey?

• Mobility
• Appearance
• Behavior
• Body structure

Answer: c. Behavior

Rationale: Assessment of behavior includes evaluation of speech, mood,

level of consciousness, and cooperation. Noting slow speech and drowsiness falls under this component (Jarvis & Eckhardt, p.152).
