Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Whether the transfer of patient information occurs through verbal reports, electronic or written documents, you need to follow some basic principles. Reports are exchanges of information among caregivers. A patient's electronic medical record or chart is a confidential, permanent legal documentation of information relevant to a patient's health care. Nurses document referrals (arrangements for the services of another care provider). Nurses use acuity ratings to determine the hours of care and number of staff required for a given group of patients every shift or every 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Any condition (e.g., pain, fatigue) that depletes a person's energy also impairs the ability to learn, so the session should be postponed until the pain is relieved and the patient is rested. Postpone teaching when an illness becomes aggravated by complications such as a high fever or respiratory difficulty. A mild level of anxiety motivates learning. When patients are ready to learn, they frequently ask questions. When the patient enters the stage of acceptance, the stage compatible with learning, introduce a teaching plan.
