Question 1 of 5
While conducting a dressing change,the nurse notes a new area of skin breakdown that was caused by the tape used to secure the dressing. In which phase of the nursing process is the nurse working?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assessment. During the assessment phase of the nursing process, the nurse collects data about the patient's condition, including physical, emotional, and environmental factors. In this scenario, the nurse is observing and identifying the new area of skin breakdown caused by the tape, which falls under data collection. The nurse is not yet making a diagnosis, planning interventions, or evaluating outcomes.
Choice B (Diagnosis) comes after assessment and involves analyzing the collected data to identify health problems.
Choices C (Evaluation) and D (Implementation) occur later in the nursing process after a plan of care has been developed and interventions have been implemented.
