Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Although the nursing process is presented as an orderly progression of steps, in reality there is great interaction and overlapping among the five steps. No one step in the nursing process is a one-time phenomenon; each step flows into the next step. In some nursing situations, all five stages occur almost simultaneously.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Standardized care plans include critical pathways, which target desired outcomes for particular illnesses, procedures, or conditions along a timeline. Critical pathways are used in many health care settings.
