Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3
Rationale 1: Although standardized approaches to care planning are common in many health care agencies, ensuring that all clients receive the same type of care is not appropriate, as care must be individualized to meet the client's needs.
Rationale 2: Ensuring that minimally accepted standards of care are met is a reason for the actions mentioned in the scenario.
Rationale 3: Ensuring that nurses' time is used efficiently is a reason for the actions mentioned in the scenario.
Rationale 4: Not all clients require the same care, and so disparities are not a concern.
Rationale 5: Although cost containment is important, it is not the focus of standardized approaches to care planning.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Rationale: This is a recognized guideline when writing care plans.
