Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
An aspect of a nursing care plan that is usually included in the student's care plan, but not in the client's record, is scientific rationales. Client outcomes are included in both student care plans and the client's record. Nursing diagnoses are included in both student care plans and the client's record. Nursing interventions are a component of both student care plans and a nursing care plan in the client's record.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Critical pathways are multidisciplinary. They allow staff from all disciplines, such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work, to develop integrated care plans for a projected length of stay or number of visits for clients with a specific case type. Client outcomes are included in both critical pathways and traditional nursing care plans. Client assessment is necessary for developing and evaluating critical pathways and traditional nursing care plans. Nursing interventions are in-cluded in critical pathways and in the traditional nursing care plan.
