  • Which type of question is used when starting the assessment of a patient?
  • What are the 4 general components of a nursing assessment?
  • What is the preparatory phase of the nursing interview?
  • What should a clinical interview ideally focus on?

Components of a nursing health history include physical examination findings, patient expectations, environmental history, and diagnostic data. Current treatment orders are located under the Orders section in the patients chart and are not a part of the nursing health history. Patient concerns, not nurses concerns, are included in the database. Goals that are mutually established, not nurses goals, are part of the nursing care plan.

PQRST

p- provokes: What causes symptom? What makes it better or worse? Are there activities (e.g., exercise) that affect it?

q- quality: What does the symptom feel like? If patient cannot describe, offer probes such as "Is it sharp? Dull? Burning?"

R—Radiate: Where is the symptom located? Is it in one place? Does it go anywhere else? Have patient be as precise as possible.

S—Severity: Ask a patient to rate the severity of a symptom on a scale of 0 to 10. This gives you a baseline with which to
compare in follow-up assessments.

T—Time: Assesses onset and duration of symptom. When did
it start? Does it come and go? If so, how often and for how long?
What time of day or day of the week?

B. Dependence-independence pattern

The nurse can use two approaches for comprehensive assessment. They include using a structured database format and a problem-oriented approach. Gordon's model is an example of a structured database format. It has 11 functional health patterns that are assessed: the health perception-health management pattern, nutritional-metabolic pattern, elimination pattern, activity-exercise pattern, sleep-rest pattern, cognitive-perceptual pattern, self-perception-self-concept pattern, role-relationship pattern, sexuality-reproductive pattern, coping-stress tolerance pattern, and the value-belief pattern.

A nurse is conducting a patient-centered interview. Place the statements from the interview in the correct order, beginning with the first statement a nurse would ask. 1. "You say you've lost weight. Tell me how much weight you've lost in the last month." 2. "My name is Todd. I'll be the nurse taking care of you today. I'm going to ask you a series of questions to gather your health history." 3. "I have no further questions. Thank you for your patience." 4. "Tell me what brought you to the hospital." 5. "So, to summarize, you've lost about 6 lbs in the last month, and your appetite has been poor—correct?"
