Question 1 of 5
The student nurse is reviewing different types of health history. Which client situation would require an Emergency health history?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the client presents with symptoms indicating a critical condition: hypotension, tachycardia, low oxygen saturation, and a recent gunshot wound, which require immediate attention. This scenario suggests a potential life-threatening situation that necessitates an Emergency health history to assess the severity of the condition and determine appropriate interventions. In contrast, choices A, C, and D do not indicate immediate life-threatening conditions that would require an Emergency health history.
Choice A involves a chronic illness, which may require a thorough health history but does not constitute an emergency.
Choice C, confirming pregnancy, is important but not typically considered an emergency unless there are complications.
Choice D, frequent hospital visits for the same symptom, may indicate a chronic issue but does not indicate an acute emergency.
