Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E, F
Nursing diagnoses, as exemplified by the NANDA-I taxonomy, are statements about the patient's ability to function in relation to an illness or injury, vary with the patient's state of recovery, are based on research done by nurses, and can be determined based on nursing assessment methods. Nursing diagnoses do not include statements of the patient's alterations in structure and function and do not remain the same throughout the course of illness or recovery from injury.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
The nurse prepares prescribed medications using procedures to ensure patient safety, including selecting correct supplies, administering medication by the correct route, educating patients regarding medications prescribed, and documenting in chart all aspects of medication administration. To improve the accuracy of patient identification, it is now recommended that two patient identifiers, neither of which is the room number, be used when administering medications. Best practice would be to look at the patient's name band for identity and to request that the patient state his or her name and birth date.
