Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Providing assistance and attending to the client's space would be independent interventions.
Rationale 2: Collaborative interventions are actions the nurse carries out with other health team members, such as physical therapists, social workers, dietitians, and physicians. Collaborative nursing activities reflect the overlapping responsibilities of, and collegial relationships between, health personnel. Providing assistive devices and educating on their proper use would fall into the discipline of physical/occupational therapy, although the nurse will have to assist with reinforcing the teaching and information.

Rationale 4: Administering medications would be a dependent intervention.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The nursing diagnosis statement must follow the NANDA format.
Rationale 2: Goal setting is part of the planning, but the NOC outcome is narrower in use than general planning.
Rationale 3: The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) describes client outcomes that respond to nursing interventions seen in traditional care plans.
Rationale 4: Implementation is compared to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomy.
