Answer to Question 1

3,1,4,2,5

Global Rationale: The order of the steps of the nursing process is assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementing, and evaluating. Weighing the patient is assessment, analyzing data occurs in the diagnosis step, writing interventions occurs in the planning step, documentation occurs in the implementation step, and revising interventions occurs in the evaluation step.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Nursing diagnoses cannot be established until assessment is done.
Rationale 2: Goals cannot be established until assessment is done.
Rationale 3: The primary steps (in order) include assessment, establish nursing diagnosis, planning, interventions, evaluation.
Rationale 4: Communication is important but is not a primary step of the nursing process.
Global Rationale: The primary steps (in order) include assessment, establish nursing diagnosis, planning, interventions, evaluation. Although some steps might not be in this precise order, assessment is done first. Communication is important but is not a primary step of the nursing process.
