    Ati nurs 220 health assessment proctored exam

    A nurse is admitting a client from a long-term care facility. The nurse should use closed-ended questions when assessing which of the following factors?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Closed-ended questions are useful for obtaining specific information, such as whether the client took their medication. Yes/no responses provide clarity and a quick assessment of adherence. B. When determining if the client is eating a well-balanced diet. Open-ended questions would be more appropriate here to gather detailed information about the client’s dietary habits. C. When asking the client about his receptiveness to the transfer. Open-ended questions would be better for understanding the client's feelings about the transfer, as they allow the client to express their thoughts fully. D. When asking the client how he completes his ADLs. Open-ended questions allow clients to describe their ability to perform activities of daily living, which provides a more comprehensive view of their functional abilities.
