Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

An inference must be followed by a validation process. In this case, the inference of fever is best validated or rejected by measuring the client's temperature. This should precede interventions such as blood work or even providing a warm blanket.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The novice nurse can improve interpretation skills by independently observing the same situation with a peer, comparing notes afterward, and role-playing various validation techniques.
