Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
The nursing process provides a reasoning model for use in planning and implementing care. This model requires the use of critical thinking skills. Diminishing job stress and burnout and adverse effects on patients' safety are not reasons the nursing process and critical thinking are included in the LPN/LVN curriculum. Job stress and burnout have not been directly associated with use of the nursing process or critical thinking. The aim of both the nursing process and critical thinking is to promote patient safety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E, F
Each of the options except respectful distancing may create a barrier to data collection. Respectful distancing suggests calling the patient by title and surname and avoiding overly familiar approaches.
