Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When entering a patient's room, the nurse should make direct eye contact, without being distracted by IV pumps and other equipment, and introduce him or herself as the patient's nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The data from the history and physical examination should be recorded as soon after the event as possible. From a legal perspective, if it is not documented, then it was not done. Brief notes should be taken during the examination. When documenting, the nurse should use short, clear phrases and avoid redundant phrases and descriptions.
