Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse failed to document an intervention for the client's complaint of leg pain. The interventions are actions that nurses perform in settings relevant to illness prevention, illness treatment, and health promotion. There is no evidence the nurse has recorded on the wrong chart. There is no evidence the nurse has failed to document a discontinued medication. The nurse has recorded the outcome of an intervention by stating the client has a good appetite and is resting comfortably.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The nursing intervention classification identifies nursing interventions that are classified under domains and classes. NANDA is a classification of nursing diagnoses. Nursing outcome classification identifies and classifies nursing-sensitive outcomes of client care. The Omaha system classifies problems under four levels: (1) major domains, (2) specific problems, (3) modifiers, and (4) signs and symptoms.
