Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Patient-oriented goals and expected outcomes are developed during the planning phase. Assessment involves the collection of data. Analysis involves clustering of the data into similar groupings to determine patient need. Implementation involves carrying out the actions identified during the planning phase.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Demonstrating the ability to maintain adherence to the prescribed therapy would be the best outcome for a nursing diagnosis of Noncompliance. Although the reasons for noncompliance can be many, this outcome addresses the importance of the therapeutic plan. Verbalizing an understanding of when to call the health care provider and identifying reasons for the prescribed drug would be appropriate outcomes for the nursing diagnosis of Deficient Knowledge. Verbalizing a desire to manage the prescribed medication schedule would correlate with a nursing diagnosis of Effective Self Health Management.
