Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Evaluation is the last step in the nursing process. The nurse gathers, sorts, and analyzes data to determine whether (1) the established outcome has been met, (2) the nursing interventions were appropriate, (3) the plan requires modification, or (4) other alternatives should be considered. Establishing priorities and selecting expected patient goals are done in the outcomes identification stage. Determining if a risk or actual dysfunctional health problem exists is done in the diagnosis stage of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
The patient's medical record should include: initial assessments, reassessments, nursing care provided, and the patient's response of care provided. Incident reports are not documented in the patient's chart.
