1. Question: Define acute and chronic medical conditions
in the context of patient care. Provide an example of each
and explain how they differ in terms of onset, duration, and
management.
 Answer: Acute medical conditions refer to sudden-onset
illnesses or injuries that typically have a short duration and
require immediate medical intervention, such as a fractured
bone or a severe infection. In contrast, chronic medical
conditions are characterized by a gradual onset, long
duration, and often require ongoing management, such as
diabetes or hypertension.
2. Question: Discuss the key steps involved in assessing a
patient with an acute problem. Outline the systematic
approach that nurses should follow to obtain a
comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition.
 Answer: The key steps in assessing a patient with an
acute problem include obtaining a focused history,
performing a physical examination, and collecting relevant
diagnostic information. Nurses should follow a systematic
approach like the 'ABCDE' method (Airway, Breathing,
Circulation, Disability, Exposure) to prioritize and address
immediate life-threatening concerns.
