When performing a physical assessment of a patient, a nurse uses the five techniques of obtaining objective data. The technique that provides data by using the hands is
 
  1. Palpation.
  2. Auscultation.
  3. Observation.
  4. Olfaction.

Question 2

A nurse wakes the patient for a focused assessment. The patient, trying to rest, tells the nurse, I wish you would quit waking me up. Do you really need to keep bothering me? The nurse appropriately responds:
 
  1. Most patients would love to get the attention that you are getting.
  2. I understand your frustration, but this has been ordered by your physician.
  3. It is necessary that I do a head-to-toe assessment from which I can determine whether there are any changes in your condition.
  4. It is important to assess your blood pressure and pulse since we just started your new blood pressure medicine.
