Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients and families consenting to DNR are consenting to not receive aggressive medical treat-ment only. Care continues until death occurs. The other options are incorrect because they are interventions allowed with a DNR order.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Options A, C, and E are correct because the nurse should intervene if the data are incorrect or not entered. Although I&O values should be entered before leaving the room, no actual harm will be done to the patient and intervention is not required. Option D is incorrect because it would be an appropriate action and not require intervention.
