Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The only appropriate lifestyle modification among these options is smoking cessation. Hypercholesterolemi a can be caused by a high-fat diet; therefore, a high-fat diet should be avoided. Exercise is usually recommended, not contraindicated. The patient should continue blood pressure medications. In this question, the nurse is using the aspect of evaluation in clinical care coordination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The identified problem is lack of staff communication. Therefore, the answer pertaining to communication is the correct answer. Staff communication is a challenge for managers, but using a variety of approaches can help. Sending an e-mail was not effective; therefore, giving each staff member a hard copy along with e-mailing is another approach the manager can take. Including the findings on evaluations, closing the lounge, and enforcing stricter dress codes do not address the problem and offer a proposed solution. An effective nurse manager uses a variety of approaches to communicate quickly and accurately with all staff.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
