Answer to Question 1

C
The Joint Commission standards require that a nurse's documentation be within the context of the nursing process, including evidence of patient and family teaching and discharge planning (TJC, 2008b). Other standards include those directed by state and federal regulatory agencies such as HIPAA, as enforced through the Department of Justice, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Answer to Question 2

A
The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmary. People without disease are not necessarily healthy. An unhealthy person may have vital signs within normal limits. People with a normal weight may be unhealthy.
