Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The minimum data set for a client is repeated every 3 months or whenever the client's condition undergoes a change. Problems identified on the MDS are then reflected in the nursing care plan. The minimum data set for a client is not repeated every 15 days, every month, or every 2 months.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should provide a written review of the client's status to the nurse at the transferred unit. The nurse prepares a discharge plan for the client when the client is leaving the health care facility for his home. The nurse may refer the client to home health care at the time of discharge from the facility. The nurse should not hand over the client's belongings to the family during the transfer; instead, the nurse should arrange to transfer the client's belongings to the other unit.
