Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
First, the nurse needs to validate the data with the client, who is the primary source. The nurse can validate data with the health care provider but consulting with the client is the best option. The client must give permission for family members to participate in the health history. Ultimately, the nurse documents all assessment data, both from the history and the physical exam.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:A, B

Because validation of all data is neither possible nor necessary, nurses need to decide which items need verification. For example, data need to be verified when there are discrepancies: A patient tells the nurse he is fine and has no concerns, but the nurse notes that he demonstrates tense body musculature and seems curt in his responses. When there is a discrepancy between what the person is saying and what the nurse is observing, validation is necessary to determine accuracy. Data also need verification when they lack objectivity.
