Answer to Question 1

B
Nursing assessment data must support the diagnostic label, and related factors must support the etiology. To collect complete, relevant, and correct assessment data, it helps to identify assessment activities to produce specific kinds of data. When reviewing assessment data, look for clusters of defining characteristics to consider if the nurse has probed and assessed the patient accurately and thoroughly.

Answer to Question 2

A
Discovery is a useful tool for teaching problem solving, application, and independent thinking. Role-playing is used to teach problem solving, application, and independent thinking. Demonstrations are useful when teaching psychomotor skills.
