Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, D

A standardized plan of care is preprinted and includes checklists, blank lines, or empty spaces to allow the nurse to individualize goals and nursing interventions. A concept map has various shapes connected with lines and is constructed using different colors.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The nurse attempts to resolve the conflict with the client by listening to the client's concerns and then negotiating with the client. This action helps build the client's trust in the medical team. Telling the client that these orders were made by the physician continues the conflict and brings the physician into it. The nurse would not want to include the client's family in the conflict and cause problems between family members. The nurse might consult with the physician after a resolution has been reached with the client, but the conflict is the nurse's to solve.
