Nurses continually assess responses of clients to particular nursing interventions, establish different priorities for nursing diagnoses, and alter plans of care as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Surveillance or monitoring nursing interventions includes detecting changes from baseline data and recognizing abnormal responses. Nurses rely on the senses to detect changes: observing the appearance and characteristics of clients; hearing by auscultation, pitch, and tone; detecting odors and comparing them with past experience and knowledge of specific problems; and using touch to assess body temperature, skin condition, clamminess, or diaphoresis. Nurses use all of these surveillance or monitoring activities to determine the current status of clients and changes from previous states. Nurses often detect subtle changes in a client's condition and communicate them to the physician to minimize problems.
