Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Even though collaboration and delegation may occur, the nurse is ultimately responsible for the continued assessment of patient needs and progress. As delegator, the nurse must supervise other disciplines to make sure that the patient needs are being met. Detection of additional problems or lack of progress with the patient should prompt the nurse to reconsider the nursing process steps.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nurses must be careful when formulating nursing diagnoses. A variety of errors may occur related to clustering of unrelated data, selecting erroneous data, using medical diagnoses in the nursing diagnosis statement, and identifying multiple problems within one diagnostic statement. The student includes two separate nursing diagnostic labels in one statement.
