Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Some components of a nursing health history include chief concern, patient expectations, spiritual health, and review of systems. Current treatment orders are located under the Orders section in the patient's chart and are not a part of the nursing health history. Patient concerns, not nurse's concerns, are included in the database. Goals that are mutually established, not nurse's goals, are part of the nursing care plan.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The question asking the patient what factors might be contributing to the fatigue will elicit the best open-ended response. Asking whether the patient is stressed and asking if the patient is sleeping 8 hours a night are closed-ended questions eliciting simple yes or no responses. Asking about normal work hours will elicit a matter-of-fact response and does not prompt the patient to elaborate on the daytime fatigue or ask about the contributing reasons.
