Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5
Rationale: Quality assurance is an ongoing, systematic process designed to evaluate and promote excellence in the health care provided to clients. It requires evaluation of three consistent components of care. Each type of evaluation requires different criteria and methods.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure.
Rationale 2: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be directly related to each other.
Rationale 3: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be relevant to each other.
Rationale 4: An incomplete database influences all steps of the nursing process and care plan. The nurse must complete the assessment before formulating a diagnosis about weakness and fatigue. Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure.
