Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

The Institute of Medicine's Committee on Quality Health Care in America has identified aspects of care that clients can reasonably expect. One of these expectations is information, which is manifested by allowing clients access to their medical records. Other characteristics that clients can expect are knowledge-based care (science), coordination between professionals (cooperation), and respect for client choices and preferences (individualization).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Nurses regularly evaluate clients' progression toward the achievement of outcomes that are specified in plans of care. When clients need more time to achieve desired outcomes, it is appropriate to continue with the existing plan of care. It is not necessary to terminate the plan of care and modification may be premature. Abandoning the plan and replacing it with a clinical pathway is counterproductive to the continuity of care.
