Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Establishing priority nursing diagnoses is part of the process of planning. Option 1 is part of as-sessment. Option 2 is an evaluation activity. Option 3 is part of outcome identification.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Environmental factors include timing. Timing of confrontation about drug use is important. It should occur when the individual can give full attention to the topic. It would be inappropriate to continue with the plan in the face of the client's distress related to her mother's illness. Options 2, 3, and 4 are factors of lesser influence in this situation.
