Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Evidence that interventions to improve the client's nutritional status were effective would be the client's self-feeding with no change in weight. Observing the client with morning self-care and dressing does not evaluate interventions to address nutritional status. If the client coughs frequently when drinking fluids, it could indicate that interventions to address nutritional status have not been effective. The client's losing 4 pounds in 1 week would not support an improvement in nutritional status.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

New-onset atrial fibrillation and anxiety are potential symptoms of hyperthyroidism. A TSH level above 5 mU/mL is considered high. The nurse can plan outcomes to relieve the client's anxiety based on this diagnosis. TSH 0.25 mU/mL is indicative of hypothyroidism. Hgb 13.8 g/dL and Hgb 11.0 g/dL are both normal hemoglobin levels.
