Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5

Rationale 1: Spider maps depict the interrelatedness of the concept and its attributes in the map.

Rationale 2: Systems maps use inputs and outputs that illustrate relationships among the concept and its attributes.

Rationale 3: Flowchart maps are linear diagrams demonstrating sequence or cause-and-effect relations.

Rationale 4: Definitions is not a type of concept map.

Rationale 5: In a hierarchical map, the concept and attributes are arranged in a hierarchical pattern and typically constructed in a descending order of importance. Relationships are identified between and among a concept and its attributes.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Delivery of organized care is not part of the nursing process, although each phase is interrelated.
Rationale 2: The nursing process is not part of the medical model, as nurses treat the client's response to the disease or problem.
Rationale 3: The purpose of the nursing process is to identify a client's health status and actual or potential health care problems or needs, to establish plans to meet the identified needs, and to deliver specific nursing interventions to meet those needs.
Rationale 4: The nursing process is individualized for each client's care plan. It is not about standardizing care.
