Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Diagnosing disease is not a nursing action. Evaluating the effectiveness of medical treatments is not a nursing action either. Nurses are to use the nursing process to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions, not medical treatments. Identifying patient needs, determining priorities of care, setting realistic goals, and implementing nursing interventions are all steps in the clinical decision-making process.

Answer to Question 2

C
Joint degeneration, which can occur with inflammatory and noninflammatory disease, is marked by changes in articular cartilage combined with overgrowth of bone at the articular ends. Degenerative changes commonly affect weight-bearing joints.
