Answer to Question 1

A
Evaluation is a continuous, active process that begins early in the relationship and continues throughout. It is an activity that requires patient and family participation, because it is based on previously identified goals and level of satisfaction. It should be documented to demonstrate the value of nursing services to consumers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Powerlessness would be included under the self-perception human response patterns. Other diagnoses included in this pattern are Body Image, Personal Identity, Hopelessness, Loneliness, and Self-Esteem (chronic or situational).
