Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
The nursing process begins when the nurse makes the initial contact with the patient regardless of the nature of the patient's illness. The nursing care directed by the nursing process is not dependent totally upon the physician's orders. The nurse-patient relationship evolves as the nurse engages in the nursing process.
