Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: In some care plans, interventions are organized according to the type of intervention: diagnostic, therapeutic, or educational. These categories can be helpful when the nurse is planning care to include interventions of each type to address the problem. Diagnostic interventions involve assessment and evaluative actions by the nurse. Assessment is not categorized as therapeutic or educational.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: The nurse's priority is always patient safety. Once the patient's safety has been assessed, the nurse continues the assessment.
