Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Nurses continually monitor interventions to determine if they are effective and if they serve the needs of individuals and families. The nursing process is cyclical, so evaluation is the catalyst for modifying the other components of the care plan. If the client's behavior does not change, the nurse must review and modify the care plan by modifying the outcomes or devising new intervention strategies.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Taxonomy means the organization of objects into related groups based on some common factor. The current NANDA Taxonomy II includes 13 domains subdivided into classes and further sorted into diagnoses.
