The nursing care plan addresses discharge planning:
 
  1. When nursing outcomes and client goals are met.
  2. The first postoperative day.
  3. The day the client is admitted.
  4. After teaching is completed.

Question 2

You are working with a client from another culture who states that the current illness is likely punishment for past sins. The nurse's best response to the client would be:
 
  1. You seem like such a nice person, what sins could cause you to deserve this?
  2. I think you are being very hard on yourself, don't you agree?
  3. It sounds as though you are troubled by something you did in the past.
  4. You have an infection that is caused by a virus that you came in contact with, not by sins.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Nursing outcomes and client goals can be long-term, and inappropriate to meet in the current setting.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The nurse should employ therapeutic communication to encourage the client to explain more about how she is feeling. The nurse can offer to assist the client in talking with a spiritual counselor later as indicated by her culture. Learning more about how the client is feeling will assist the nurse in determining what to do next. Options 1, 2, and 4 are negating the client's feelings, resulting in making the client uncomfortable with sharing more information, and are not therapeutic.
