Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The registered nurse (RN) has primary responsibility for each patient's initial admission nursing history, physical assessment, and development of the care plan based on the nursing diagnoses identified.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
DARE is the acronym for four different aspects of charting using the focus format. Data (D) is both subjective and objective and is equivalent to the assessment step of the nursing process. Action (A) is a combination of planning and implementation. Response (R) of the patient is the same as evaluation of effectiveness. Some facilities include education/patient teaching (E).
