Answer to Question 1

A
Nurses have used nursing care plans as tools to document activities described in the nursing process. Traditional care plans have a column format. These plans provide a means to record assessment data, provide a list of nursing diagnoses drawn from the data, record anticipated outcomes of nursing interventions, and present a plan of care that is a statement of nursing interventions to be used. Finally, the nursing care plan provides documentation of the observed outcome, which can be compared to the anticipated outcome. This last item is generally placed in the final column known as the evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Tricyclic antidepressants can be used to treat neuropathic pain, such as the pain that occurs after a case of shingles (herpes zoster). In addition, it has also proven useful in preventing migraine headaches.
