Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient will state the expected adverse effects of medication by the end of the teaching session is an example of a goal statement that is developed in the planning phase. Administration of insulin subcut is an example of the implementation phase. Noting a high risk for falls related to hypotension is an example of the second phase or nursing diagnosis. Stating that the medication given is effective is an example of the evaluation phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse is collecting information about renal function through lab data; this is baseline assessment data. This action is not an example of the development of a nursing diagnosis. Planning is developing goal statements and prioritizing patient problems. Evaluation determines if goals have been met.
