Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: The nursing process includes the steps nurses use to identify needs for care; analyze, prioritize, and plan for intervention; and evaluate the nursing care that is delivered to patients. This is a process of assessment and problem solving that occurs jointly with patients. The nursing process includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, and evaluation. While communication is vitally important in providing nursing care, it is not a separate step of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The dynamic, ever-changing nature of the nursing process is best demonstrated when the nurse frequently re-addresses patient interventions after any status change in the patient's status. While the other interventions are appropriate nursing interventions, these do not demonstrate the dynamic nature of the nursing process.
