Answer to Question 1

3. Collegiality

Rationale:
Collegiality describes interaction with and contributions to the professional development of peers and colleagues, which is what a mentoring relationship would involve. Collaboration involves working with the client, the family, and others in the conduct of nursing practice. Leadership provides direction in a professional practice setting. Evaluation involves a comparison between one's own nursing practice and professional practice standards.

Answer to Question 2

2. No evidence of bleeding and clotting factors near normal limits

Rationale:
Care provided to a client with disseminated intravascular coagulation is successful when there is no further bleeding with clotting factors near normal limits. Oxygen saturation of 86 is evidence that treatment is needed. Heart rate of 110 beats per minute is evidence that treatment is needed. Urine output of 20 cc per hour is below normal limits and would indicate the need for further treatment.
