Answer to Question 1

The correct order is 5, 1, 4, 3, 2
Rationale:
1. Measuring a client's vital signs and reviewing past history is a nursing intervention that occurs in the assessment step of the nursing process.
2. Recognizing and documenting the client's problem occurs in the nursing diagnosis step.
3. Setting a goal with client collaboration, for a seven-hour night's sleep occurs in the planning step.
4. Encouraging deep breathing and teaching relaxation techniques occur in the implementation step.
5. Determining if an antianxiety medication is decreasing a client's stress occurs in the evaluation step.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5
Rationale: The nurse should identify that experimenting with masturbation and homosexual play and not wanting to undress in front of others are characteristics that are normal in the development of human sexuality in an 11-year-old child. Interest in the opposite sex usually increases, and children often become self-conscious about their bodies.
