Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a patient is initially interviewed and assessed, the nurse must complete a thorough analysis of the patient's physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychomotor status. Several tools are available to guide the nurse in conducting detailed, complete assessments, including Gordon's Functional Health Patterns. The nurse often works with unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to collect relevant data on height and weight, intake and output, and vital signs.
