Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nursing process is continuous. Because the life and health of individuals change, reassessment of the client's needs is done frequently, sometimes hourly (or more frequently in critical care settings). Therefore, the existing nursing process must be redesigned spontaneously to fit the most current and highest priority needs. The nursing process is systematic. The nurse follows specific, orderly, and logical steps based on the client's most important and often most vital needs, also known as prioritization or prioritizing. The nursing process is client-oriented. The nurse focuses on meeting individualized client needs, rather than on performing specific skills. The nursing process is goal-oriented. Goals, objectives, or expected outcomes are established as an early part of the nursing process.
