Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Critical thinking as applied to nursing care requires setting priorities of patient problems and needs by using logic and intuition. Inclusion of the family in the care makes the approach family oriented. Critical thinking should go beyond the obvious.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Manifestations of late emphysema include a productive cough, dyspnea, a barrel chest, and cya-nosis. (Coughing, mucus production, and cyanosis usually do not occur until late in the disease.) Wheezing usually does not occur in the emphysemic patient.
