How are critical pathways and standardized nursing care plans similar? Both:
 
  1) Specify daily, or even hourly, outcomes and interventions.
  2) Prescribe minimal care needed to meet recommended lengths of stay.
  3) Describe care common to all patients with a certain condition or situation.
  4) Emphasize medical problems and interventions.

Question 2

The nurse is individualizing Mr. Wu's plan of care by writing a plan for his nursing diagnosis of Anxiety. Why does the nurse need to write goals/outcomes on the plan of care? Because outcomes describe:
 
  1) Desirable changes in the patient's health status.
  2) Specific patient responses to medical interventions.
  3) Specific nursing behaviors to improve a patient's health.
  4) Criteria to evaluate the appropriateness of a nursing diagnosis.
