Question 133 • NY-English Language Arts 12 CR

A nurse asks a nursing assistant about a patient. Which response is the best verbal report by the nursing assistant?

Answer

"The patient has a fever and is complaining of pain in the stomach area."

"The patient has a temperature of 103.2° F, and he is complaining of pain in the lower right quadrant."

"The patient has a temperature of 103.2° F, he had peas for lunch, and he is missing his family."

"The patient doesn't feel well and would like a cold compress for his head."

Explanation

A good verbal report is objective, specific, and includes relevant details. Choice B gives the measured temperature, 103.2° F, and precisely locates the pain in the lower right quadrant. Choice A is less specific, while C includes unrelated details and D relies on a vague description of how the patient feels.
