Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The priority problem is one that is potentially life-threatening: shortness of breath. Physiologic or survival needs take priority over higher level needs. The problems mentioned in the other options do not threaten survival.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Objective data are sometimes called signs. Objective data can be verified. Subjective data are based on the patient's report. Planning data and reassessment data are not used as data classifications.
