Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
The competent nurse uses the information about head injury, change in mental status from talking and drowsy but oriented to talking at a rapid pace, and the potential for the patient to deteriorate to discern that the patient is experiencing cerebral edema or increased intracranial pressure. Advanced beginner, novice, and proficient levels are inaccurate critical thinking findings.
