Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
To evaluate the patient's understanding of the drug regimen, behaviors are important. The nurse may note facial expressions, regimen being followed correctly, and correct answers to questions asked. The patient may say yes but not truly understand. Additionally, nodding of the head, although suggesting yes, does not demonstrate understanding.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Analysis is the way nurses cluster data into similar groupings to determine patient needs. Assessment is the collection of data that is used for analysis. Planning involves the development of patient-oriented goals and expected outcomes and identifying actions to achieve these outcomes. Implementation is carrying out the plan of action.
