Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, D, E
Feedback:
When developing a teaching plan, the nurse should include information about how to administer the drug, what to expect from the drug, and what to report to the primary health care provider. Information about the drug's chemical name is not necessary; however, the nurse should address the drug's generic and/or trade names. Typically the patient would not need to calculate the drug dosage, but the nurse should review the dosage with the patient.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D
Feedback:
A nurse's taking a patient's blood pressure prior to administering a drug would be considered assessment of objective data because the nurse will need to analyze the actual blood pressure reading to determine which plan to implement. Implementation involves carrying out the plan, such as preparing and administering one or more drugs to the patient. Subjective data involves information obtained directly from the patient, such as if the patient reported a headache. Analysis involves clustering data to determine the patient's needs.
