Practice Question
When is the most appropriate time for a nurse to assess a client's health risks?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
During each client encounter
Rationale:
💎 Assessing health risks at every encounter allows the nurse to identify emerging issues early and provide timely interventions.
💎 Waiting until annual visits may delay detection of acute or progressive health risks.
💎 Only assessing after a medical diagnosis ignores preventive care opportunities.
💎 Assessing when the client presents for assistance may miss risks unrelated to the current complaint.
💎 Routine assessment at each encounter supports holistic care, preventive strategies, and individualized health promotion.
