Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Objective data such as vital signs and laboratory results are cues that can be used as the basis for subsequent steps in the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
During implementation, the nurse uses various skills to put a plan of care into action, such as maintaining the therapeutic environment. Planning involves a plan of care that individualizes and identifies priorities of care and proposed effective interventions. Nursing diagnosis is a statement of an existing problem or a potential health problem that a nurse is both competent and licensed to treat. Evaluation focuses on the client's status, progress toward goal achievement, and ongoing reevaluation of the care plan.
