NCLEX QUESTIONS NURSING PROCESS Exam with Correct Answers During which part of the client interview would it be best for the nurse to ask, "What's the weather forecast for today?" A. Introduction ... B. Body C. Closing D. Orientation Correct Answer A. Introduction Rationale: Asking about the weather initiates the social or introductory phase of the interview and allows the nurse to begin an assessment of the client's mental status. The goal is to develop rapport with the client at the beginning of the interview. In the body the client responds to the nurse's questions. During the closing the nurse or the client terminates the interview. The nurse is most likely to collect timely, specific information by asking which of the following questions? A. "Would you describe what you are feeling?" B. "How are you today?" C. "What would you like to talk about?" D. "Where does it hurt?" Correct Answer A. "Would you describe what you are feeling?" Rationale: This is an open-ended question that will elicit subjective data. The data collected will reflect the client's current health status and human response(s) and should generate specific information that can be used to identify actual and/or potential health problems. Options 2 and 3 are more likely to elicit general, nonspecific information. Option 4 may result in a brief, one-word response or nonverbal gesture indicating the site of the client's pain. A better approach to collect specific information might be, "Describe any pain you are having."

"You are really excited about the plastic surgery, aren't you?" C. "Were you aware I've has this same type of surgery?" D. "What would you like to talk about?" Correct Answer B. "You are really excited about the plastic surgery, aren't you?" Rationale: A leading question directs the client's answer. The phrasing of the question indicates an expected answer. The client may be influenced by the nurse's expectations and may give inaccurate responses. This process can result in an error in diagnostic reasoning.
