Simulated
During a psychosocial assessment, the nurse documents a patient's orientation as oriented X3. This means:
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Oriented to time, place and personal hygiene is incorrect; X3 doesnÔÇÖt include hygiene. Alert and oriented to person, place and time is correct; 'oriented X3' means awareness of person, place, and time. Anxious, alert and oriented to place doesnÔÇÖt fully define X3. Awake and oriented to place is incomplete for X3.
