Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Outcomes are projections of expected influence that nursing interventions will have on the patient. Interviewing and collecting data is involved in the assessment process, re-assessing is involved in the evaluation process, and identifying related nursing problems is involved in determining appropriate nursing diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should begin establishing the nursepatient relationship by initially directing the questions to the patient. The nurse can confirm information and/or obtain supplementary in-formation from the sources identified by the other options.
