Subjective data provided by the patient included complaints of intermittent chest pain upon exertion. When performing a complete physical examination, the nurse might use an organized approach such as:

A. Confidentiality: The biggest concern is maintaining patient confidentiality due to risks of unauthorized access, hacking, and breaches of protected health information (PHI).

B. Adequate forms for documentation: Computerized charting typically has structured templates, ensuring that all necessary fields are included.

C. Incorrect information: While errors can occur, computerized charting often includes safeguards like drop-down menus, alerts, and validation checks to reduce mistakes.

D. None of the answers are correct: Confidentiality is a significant concern, making option A the best answer.

A. It serves as a reminder of human growth and development across the life span: Maslow’s hierarchy focuses on prioritizing needs, not general growth and development.

B. It helps in prioritizing nursing diagnoses and care: Maslow’s hierarchy is used to prioritize patient needs, ensuring physiological needs (oxygen, fluid, nutrition) come first before psychological and self-actualization needs.

C. It outlines the basic psychological needs that people have when they are hospitalized and feel anxiety: Maslow includes psychological needs, but its primary purpose is prioritizing all human needs, including physiological ones.

D. It is a framework for thinking critically: While it aids in clinical decision-making, critical thinking encompasses broader concepts beyond Maslow’s hierarchy.
