Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Reporting takes place when two or more people communicate information about client care, either face to face, or by recording, computer charting, or telephone. Dialogue is two-way communication, which is not always the case for reporting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Nurses and other team members gather assessment data from the client record. By reading about the client's history and initial assessment, and comparing these data with additional subjective and objective information that has been obtained, current health status and progress toward goals can be determined.
