Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
After setting the agenda, the nurse should conduct the actual interview and proceed with data collection, such as asking about the patient's current chief concerns or problems. Introductions occur before setting the agenda. Begin an interview by introducing yourself and your position and explaining the purpose of the interview. Your aim is to set an agenda for how you will gather information about a patient's current chief concerns or problems. The termination phase includes telling the patient when the interview is nearing an end. Telling the patient that medications will be given later when the nurse returns would typically take place during the termination phase of the interview.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Objective data are observations or measurements of a patient's health status, like respirations. Inspecting the condition of a surgical incision or wound, describing an observed behavior, and measuring blood pressure are examples of objective data. States doesn't feel good, reports a headache, and nausea are all subjective data. Subjective data include the patient's feelings, perceptions, and reported symptoms. Only patients provide subjective data relevant to their health condition.
