Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nursing diagnosis consists of three parts: (1) problem, (2) etiology, and (3) evidence. The problem is a statement identifying a health problem or alteration in a client's health status requiring nursing intervention. Planning occurs after problem identification. Interventions occur during implementation. The effectiveness of the interventions is evaluated in the evaluation phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Outcome identification occurs during the planning phase. Goals are identified during planning, not assessment. Nursing interventions are performed during the implementation phase. During evaluation, goal achievement is evaluated.
