Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

In the teaching plan the objectives identify specific, measurable behaviors or activities expected of the client. Action verbs may be from the cognitive, affective, or psychomotor domain. The demonstration of skills such as monitoring blood pressure is reflective of the psychomotor domain. Psychomotor objectives include the acquisition of skills. The affective domain refers to attitudes, feelings, values, and opinions. The identification of the signs and symptoms of an elevated blood pressure are reflective of the cognitive domain. Cognitive objectives include those concerning the acquisition of knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 1, 5, 3, 4

The process of data collection involves a systematic approach using critical thinking. The first step in the process involves the identification of assumptions. Assumptions may misguide or misdirect the process of assessment and intervention. Additional steps in the process, in order, include organizing the approach, determining the reliability and accuracy of the information, distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant information, and looking for any inconsistencies in the information.
