Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Communicating care with the healthcare team occurs during the implementation phase of the nursing process. The previously established goals and objectives of the nursing care plan become the standards or criteria by which to measure the client's progress. Evaluation of care is based on these criteria. Various factors can contribute to whether the goals are achieved. When a goal has not been met the process has to start over again before planning for the future after goals have been achieved.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client, not the nurse, surgeon, or family, is the primary focus of the evaluation.
