Question 1 of 5
When should a nurse perform an ongoing assessment during a patient's hospital stay?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: At each shift change to identify any changes in the patient's condition. Ongoing assessment at each shift change is essential to monitor the patient's condition continuously. Changes in vital signs, symptoms, or responses to treatment can occur rapidly in a hospital setting. This frequent assessment helps in early detection of changes and prompt intervention, leading to better patient outcomes.
Choice A is incorrect because ongoing assessment is necessary throughout the hospital stay, not just at the beginning.
Choice B is incorrect as once a week assessments may miss important changes between rounds.
Choice D is incorrect because relying solely on the patient to report new symptoms may delay necessary intervention.
