Answer to Question 1

B
When there is failure to achieve a goal, no matter what the reason, repeat the entire nursing process sequence for that nursing diagnosis to discover changes the plan needs. A complete reassessment of all patient factors relating to the nursing diagnosis and etiology is necessary when modifying a plan. The plan cannot continue because the goal was not met. The goal cannot be changed and walking the patient cannot occur until reassessment has been completed.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most important role is caregiving. Using the nursing process and critical thinking skills, a nurse develops appropriate, individualized nursing care for specific patients and their families. Case management means making an appropriate plan of care based on assessment of patients and families and coordinating needed resources and services for the patient's well-being across a continuum of care. Community-based nurses teach their patients individually or in groups. Community health nurses use basic principles of epidemiology, such as tracking health problems; collecting and analyzing data to identify disease trends, outbreaks of illnesses, and disease incidence rates; and planning strategies to prevent or contain outbreaks.
