Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Evaluation is a decision-making process that involves determining the effectiveness of the nursing interventions in meeting the expected outcomes. To determine if the outcomes have been accomplished, the nurse collects additional data, both subjective and objective, through an ongoing assessment. An initial assessment is completed when the nurse first meets the patient. Independent nursing actions are completed during the implementation phase of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
For this nursing diagnosis to be used, the patient verbalizes the desire to manage the medication schedule. When the patient is willing and able to manage the treatment activities, he or she may simply need information concerning the drug, method of administration, what type of reactions to expect, and what to report to the primary health care provider. A patient willing to take responsibility may need the nurse to develop a teaching plan that gives the patient the information needed to manage the treatment activities. The patient would also need to demonstrate the ability to remember how and when to take the drug.
