Answer to Question 1

A
Examples of hand-off reports include change-of-shift reports and transfer reports. A hand-off report occurs any time one health care provider transfers care of a patient to another health care provider. The purpose of hand-off reports is to provide better continuity and individualized care for patients. Flow sheets are part of the permanent health record and provide a quick and easy reference for assessing changes in a patient's status. Standardized care plans, based on institution standards of nursing practice, are preprinted established guidelines of care for patients with sim-ilar health problems. The laboratory submits a written report providing the results of diagnostic tests.

Answer to Question 2

D
Lymph nodes that are large, fixed, inflamed, or tender indicate a problem such as local infection, systemic disease, or neoplasm. Enlarged lymph nodes are not normal. Normally lymph nodes are not easily palpable. An extensive system of lymph nodes collects lymph from the head, ears, nose, cheeks, and lips.
