Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

Nursing interventions should be based on the etiology in the nursing diagnosis, be compatible with other planned therapies, be consistent with standards of care and research, and individualized for the client. Nursing interventions can be independent, dependent, and interdependent. Independent nursing interventions are nurse-initiated interventions directed at the etiology of the client problem; they do not require approval from other members of the health care team.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

The nursing student failed to provide culturally sensitive care by expecting the client to engage in eye contact. There is no information to suggest the nursing student failed to act in partnership with the client, approach the client caringly, or seek the client's input in the plan of care.
