Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
When writing client outcomes it is important that an action verb is used so that the behavior can be evaluated. Verbs such as demonstrate, state, and explain are appropriate action verbs. Understand and know are difficult to evaluate because they lack a behavioral component.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
This statement is an example of outcome criteria. Outcome criteria answer the questions who (the client), what actions (verbalizes), under what circumstances (to the staff), how well (accurately), and when (before discharge). Nursing diagnosis would include a diagnostic label, related factors and defining characteristics. Intervention would reflect an action or treatment performed to promote client outcomes. Client outcome would be an educated guess made as a broad statement.
