Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should document the client's medical record and the planned nursing interventions in the plan of care as per the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requirements. To communicate the plan of care, each nurse assigned to the client refers to the sheet, reviews it, and revises it daily. Stating the medical insurance number of the client on the sheet is of secondary importance as it ensures reimbursement from insurance companies. Nurses make certain that the client is identified on the plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
External respiration takes place at the most distal point in the airway between the alveolarcapillary membranes. Internal respiration occurs at the cellular level by means of hemoglobin and body cells.
