Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Nursing care is based on assessment. Thus, a plan cannot be developed prior to meeting with the client. The time frame, whether short term or long term, and the need for follow- up will be determined by the findings of the assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B

Evidence that a client's religious needs were met while hospitalized would be the client thanking the nurse for contacting her priest. The client requesting and attending religious services in the hospital chapel is also evidence that the client's religious needs were met while hospitalized. The client who asked for additional supplies to change dressings at home exhibits no evidence of religious needs being met. The client who asks the nurse whom to call if she has any problems at home is not exhibiting evidence of religious needs being met. The client who tells the nurse that she will not need home care is not exhibiting evidence that religious needs have been met.
