Answer to Question 1

1. a = First-level priority problem

2. b = Second-level priority problem

3. c = Third-level priority problem

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E, F
Clustering related cues help the nurse recognize relationships among the data. The cues related to the patient's respiratory status (e.g., wheezes, cough, report of dyspnea, respiration rate and rhythm) are all related. Cues related to bowels and peripheral edema are not related to the respiratory cues.
