Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

During evaluation, the nurse collects data and makes a judgment summarizing the findings. In making a decision about how well the outcome was met, the nurse has three options: met, partially met, or not met. An elevated white blood cell count and the presence of yellow-green wound discharge are clinical manifestations consistent with an infectious process, so the outcome has not been met.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

During evaluation, the nurse collects data and makes a judgment summarizing the findings. In making a decision about how well the outcome was met, the nurse examines client data or behaviors that validate whether the outcome is met. The condition of the skin, especially over bony prominences, provides the best measure of whether skin integrity has been maintained.
