Question 4

Ch 3: During Sami’s appointment at the women’s clinic, she has a Pap smear, breast exam, and blood work. She also informs the nurse practitioner that her menstrual flow is very heavy and that she experiences severe abdominal cramping. All of these data are added to the database as reference for future visits. Sami’s Pap smear results and breast exam are normal, but she is moderately anemic (she has a low hemoglobin level). When the nurse practitioner sees the lab results, she suspects that the heavy flow may be causing Sami’s anemia. According to clinic protocol, she prescribes birth control pills for Sami to control her heavy, painful periods and provide contraception. Ongoing assessment will include visits every 6 months to manage her birth control pills and monitor the anemia. State whether the following data are primary or secondary, subjective or objective: You see in the chart that Sami’s breast exam was normal.

Answer

Objective data (Someone other than Sami made the observation; it was not from Sami’s perspective.)

Question 5

After teaching the client with severe rheumatoid arthritis about prescribed methotrexate (Rheumatrex), which of the following statements indicates the need for further teaching? 1. “I will take my vitamins while I’m on this drug.” 2. “I must not drink any alcohol while I’m taking this drug.” 3. “I should brush my teeth after every meal.” 4. “I will continue taking my birth control pills.”

Answer

1. Because some over-the-counter vitamin supplements contain folic acid, the client should avoid self-medication with vitamins while taking methotrexate, a folic acid antagonist. Because methotrexate is hepatotoxic, the client should avoid the intake of alcohol, which could increase the risk for hepatotoxicity. Methotrexate can cause bone marrow depression, placing the client at risk for infection. Therefore, meticulous mouth care is essential to minimize the risk of infection. Contraception should be used during methotrexate therapy and for 8 weeks after the therapy has been discontinued because of its effect on mitosis. Methotrexate is considered teratogenic.

State whether the following data are primary or secondary, subjective or objective: The nurse practitioner tells you that Sami is anemic.

Answer

– Objective data (Observed by someone other than the patient; not told to you by the patient. It isn’t the verbal reporting of data that makes them “subjective”; it is the verbal reporting by the patient.) – Secondary data for you (You did not get the data from Sami.) Actually, anemia is a diagnostic conclusion made by the nurse practitioner, not data. But when you receive the information, it is, for you, data.
