Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

A physician-initiated intervention is an intervention initiated by a physician in response to a medical diagnosis but carried out by a nurse in response to a physician's order. A physician's order is required for the nurse to administer drugs, such as oxygen. A nurse-initiated intervention is an autonomous action based on scientific rationale that a nurse executes to benefit the client in a predictable way related to the nursing diagnosis and expected outcomes. Nursing-initiated interventions, such as teaching client how to transfer, assisting with coughing and deep breathing, and monitoring intake and output do not require a physician's order.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Outcomes are client-centered, use action verbs, identify measureable criteria, and include a time frame as to when the outcome should be achieved. A correctly written outcome will identify who (the client) will do what (ambulate), how well (10 feet), under what circumstances (with a walker), and by when (October 12). Understand is vague and not action-oriented. The outcomes regarding eliminating a stool and self-administering insulin are missing the time frame.
