Answer to Question 1

D
A nursing-sensitive outcome focuses on how nursing interventions affect patients and offers a measure of nursing's contribution to patient care (Oncology Nursing Society ONS, 2008). Nursing-sensitive outcomes look at the effects of interventions within the scope of nursing practice and are integral to the processes of nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

D
To further maintain confidentiality and protect patient privacy, make sure written materials used in student clinical practice do not have patient identifiers, such as room number, date of birth, medical record number, or other identifiable demographic information.
