Answer to Question 1

3. The NOC allows better nursing communication.

Rationale:
The standardized language of NOC allows nurses to describe nursing problems, treatments, and outcomes in a consistent manner that is understood by all nurses. NOC was not devised to make outcomes easier or more professional looking. Outcomes are based on data already collected and do not facilitate data gathering.

Answer to Question 2

4. Risk of dehydration

Rationale:
As an adult ages, the thirst mechanism declines. In a client with an altered level of consciousness, this can increase the risk of dehydration and high serum osmolality. The risks for kidney damage, stroke, and bleeding are not specifically related to aging or fluid and electrolyte issues.
