Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

Demonstration of bathing techniques is a form of role modeling that would enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Presenting the information at the time of discharge will not allow for identification of concerns and/or evaluation of whether the skill has been acquired. Although it may be advantageous to have each parent bathe their newborn, this action would not be advised in terms of time management and safety related to maintenance of core temperature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The outcome should be client-centered, measurable, realistic, and attainable and have a time frame. Client stating that pain is now 2 on a scale of 10 lacks a time frame. Client having a reduction in pain after administration of the prescribed analgesic lacks a measurement. Client stating an absence of pain 1 hour after the administration of prescribed analgesic is unrealistic.
