Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Evaluation consists of determining whether the desired patient outcomes have been met and whether the nursing interventions were appropriate. The other responses do not describe the evaluation phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This diagnosis statement includes a NANDA nursing diagnosis and an etiology that describes a patient's response to a health problem that can be treated by nursing. The use of a medical diagnosis as an etiology (as in the responses beginning Altered tissue perfusion and Altered urinary elimination) is not appropriate. The response beginning Risk for impaired tissue integrity uses the defining characteristic as the etiology.
