Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Impaired skin integrity is an example of a nursing diagnosis. Skin breakdown noted is an example of a charting entry, turn patient every 2 hours is a nursing intervention, and scabies is a medical diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Objective data are observable and measurable signs. Objective data can be recorded. A camera can record a rash, a skin lesion, or puffy eyes. A tape recorder can give evidence of crying or slurred speech. A thermometer can record a temperature elevation. Other terms for objective data are signs and objective cues. Shortness of breath on exertion is an example of objective data. All other options are examples of subjective data.
