Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) system is organized according to categories, classes, labels, outcome indicators, and measurement activities for outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Based on the assessment, the nurse should identify specific cues, such as the thick secretions, excessive sputum, and coughing, which would indicate a problem with a clear airway. Although the client may be experiencing problems with his activity level or a disruption in his sleep from coughing, there is no indication that either of these is occurring. The client's respiratory rate is increased; however, he is breathing independently.
