Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The NIC taxonomy may or may not help with documentation.
Rationale 2: The NIC taxonomy, like NOC, is similar to NANDA diagnosesbroadly stated interventions that are standardized in language and generalized in nature. Each nursing diagnosis contains suggestions for several interventions under the NIC taxonomy, and nurses must select the appropriate interventions based on their judgment and knowledge of the client.
Rationale 3: Although it would utilize standard language for all nurses and offer suggestions of interventions for each diagnosis, finding the most appropriate interventions still requires individualization for each client.
Rationale 4: This taxonomy is general and standardized and must be tailored to fit the needs, outcomes, and goals of the individual client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills.
Rationale 2: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills.
Rationale 3: This is an example of an independent intervention: those activities that the nurse is licensed to initiate on the basis of knowledge and skills.
Rationale 4: Dependent interventions are those activities carried out under the physician's orders or supervision or according to specified routines. The nurse is responsible for assessing the need for and administering medications, but the physician prescribes them.
