Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An ongoing partial assessment is conducted at regular intervals during care of the client and concentrates on identified health problems and the effectiveness of interventions. A comprehensive assessment includes a health history and complete physical examination and is usually conducted when a client first enters a health care setting. A focused assessment is conducted to assess a specific problem. An emergency assessment is a type of rapid focused assessment conducted to determine a potentially fatal situation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Core temperatures are measured by nurses rectally. Surface body temperatures are measured at oral (sublingual), axillary, and skin surface sites.
