Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4

Rationale 1: Herbal products and dietary supplements should be assessed for a pharmacology assessment.
Rationale 2: Allergies to medications should be assessed for a pharmacology assessment.
Rationale 3: Heart and lung assessment is incorrect because this is part of a physical assessment, not a pharmacology assessment.
Rationale 4: All current medications, including OTC medications, should be assessed for a pharmacology assessment.
Rationale 5: An integumentary assessment is incorrect because this is part of a physical assessment, not a pharmacology assessment.

Global Rationale: Herbal products and dietary supplements, an allergy assessment, and all current prescribed and OTC medications should be assessed for a pharmacology assessment. A heart, lung, and integumentary assessment are physical assessment not pharmacology assessments.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Palpable pulses in all extremities is objective data that is collected by the nurse.
Rationale 2: Current vital signs are objective data that are collected by the nurse.
Rationale 3: Chest x-ray is objective data because it is not reported by the client, and the results can be viewed by the nurse and physician.
Rationale 4: Nausea is subjective data reported by the client.

Global Rationale: Nausea is subjective data reported by the client. Palpable pulses in all extremities, current vital signs, and chest x-ray are all examples of objective data that is collected by the nurse.
