Answer to Question 1

C
The nursing process includes the steps of assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation. It is an ongoing process that takes into account changes in the patient's condition and responses to interventions, which lead to a need for reassessmentor a return to the first step, as in a circular path. Response A is incorrect in that it does not address the need for continual reassessment and evaluation. Reponses B and D are incorrect because they are not individualized and do not relate to the needs of the individual patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
All of the persons listed in the answer have responsibility for the eventual care given; however, the LPN works directly under the supervision of the RN case manager.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
