Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Psychomotor outcomes describe the client's achievement of new skills, such as the safe and aseptic care of a new fistula. Cognitive outcomes are focused on knowledge and effective outcomes address values, beliefs, and attitudes. Outcomes are not classified as holistic.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

The client has successfully met this outcome, and the nurse should note the time and date that it was achieved in the client's plan of care. The outcome should not be removed from the plan of care and it is unnecessary to have the original author of the plan update it. Further observation may or may not be necessary at dinner time, but an evaluative statement should nonetheless be recorded at the present time.
