Answer to Question 1

C
The Joint Commission no longer requires that health care organizations have traditional nursing care plans but documentation of an individualized plan of care must be evident for each patient. TJC requires the involvement of the patient or family in the development of the plan, which must be documented in the medical record, and interdisciplinary planning and implementation of all aspects of care.

Answer to Question 2

C
Phenothiazines are associated with gait disturbances. Amphetamines are associated with muscle hyperactivity. Corticosteroids are associated with necrosis of the femur head. Anticoagulants are associated with bleeding into the joints.
