Answer to Question 1

B
The diagnostic process results in the formation of a total diagnostic statement that allows a nurse to develop an appropriate, patient-centered plan of care. A nursing diagnosis provides direction for nursing, not for medical problems or for the entire health team. It is not used to compete with physicians or health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

B
With standing orders, you carry out a standing order until the health care provider cancels it by another order or until a prescribed number of days elapses. A PRN order is one in which the health care provider orders a medication to be given only when a patient requires it. Single (one-time) orders happen when a prescriber orders a medication to be given only once at a specified time. A STAT order means that you give a single dose of a medication immediately and only once.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
