Answer to Question 1

Ans: E
Feedback:
Objective data from observation (e.g., posture, skin color, behavior), health records (e.g., laboratory results, reports from other health care team members), physical assessment (e.g., breath sounds, strength of extremities), and measurement devices (e.g., blood pressure, temperature) are collected to judge the client's behavioral responses to nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
While the nurse may delegate duties to UAP, the professional RN is ultimately responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information. Since this was part of the admission assessment it would be advisable for the nurse to have measured the vital signs herself.
