The five steps of the nursing process parallel the steps of scientific problem-solving. In the steps in scientific problem-solving the nurse formulates a tentative solution to the client's problem. Which related step is in the nursing process?

A) Nursing assessment
B) Nursing diagnosis
C) Planning
D) Implementation

Question 2

One important nursing technique is the measurement of accurate body temperature. The body loses heat through four processes. The nurse is reviewing the four processes with her high school child.

Based on the nurse's information, which is an example of convection that the nurse can provide to the high school child? A) The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces.
B) An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body.
C) Body fluid in the form of perspiration and insensible loss is vaporized from the skin.
D) The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The step in scientific problem-solving to gather information relative to the problem is related to the nursing assessment step in nursing process. The step in scientific problem-solving to identify the problem is related to the nursing diagnosis step in nursing process. The step in scientific problem-solving to formulate tentative solutions is related to the planning step in the nursing process. The step in scientific problem-solving test solutions is related to the implementation and interventions step in the nursing process. The nursing process is also described as a systematic method that directs the nurse and client as they together (1) determine the need for nursing care, (2) plan and implement the care, and (3) evaluate the results.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body is an example of convection. The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces is an example of radiation. Body fluid in the form of perspiration and insensible loss is vaporized from the skin, which is an example of evaporation. The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt, is an example of conduction.
