Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The Nursing Outcomes Classification is a comprehensive list of standardized outcomes, definitions,
and measures to describe client outcomes influenced by nursing practice. Two categories found in
the classification include social interaction and self-control. Option A: The DSM-IV-TR contains
diagnostic information. Option B: Daily discussions with the mentor might be helpful but would not
yield the quantity of information found in the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Option D: This
option would not provide the focused information found in the Nursing Outcomes Classification.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
B, C
Rationale: All interventions are not supported by evidence. Evidence supports removing personal
property that can be used to attempt self-harm. Evidence also supports restricting the client to the
unit and closely supervising client activity while on the psychiatric unit. If the client leaves the unit,
staff would accompany the client on a one-to-one basis. The interventions are inappropriate because
they do not provide a safe environment for the client. Option A: The interventions are feasible
although misguided. Option D: The interventions are within the capability of the nurse, but a nurse
using good judgment would question them.
