Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Inferences are conclusions drawn from the facts, going beyond facts to make a statement about something not currently known.
Rationale 2: Judgment is an evaluation of facts or information that reflects values or other criteria.
Rationale 3: Opinions are beliefs formed over time and include judgments that may fit facts or be in error. In this case, the nurse may not understand that, culturally, this may be very appropriate and fitting for this client. If this is the case, the nurse should not become disturbed by the spouse's attention.
Rationale 4: Evaluation is considering the results or outcome.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Assessment is the process of collecting data.
Rationale 2: Diagnosing is putting a label on the problem.
Rationale 3: The planning portion of the nursing process involves setting criteria, weighting the criteria, and seeking/examining alternatives when compared to the decision-making process.
Rationale 4: Evaluating is reviewing the outcome.
