Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Retrospective evaluation may use postdischarge questionnaires and client interviews, or chart reviews after the client has been discharged. Concurrent evaluation occurs while the client is receiving care and may include the following: direct observation of nursing care and client interviews; and direct observation of chart reviews during hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

The nurse will terminate the plan of care when each expected outcome has been achieved. Modifying the plan of care is necessary if there are difficulties in achieving the outcomes. Re-evaluating each step of the nursing process is a step in the modification of a plan of care. Continuing the plan of care occurs if more time is needed to achieve the outcomes.
