Answer to Question 1

D
The patient will identify the need to increase dietary intake of fiber by July 4 is measurable, reli-able, valid, and focuses on the patient. Expected outcomes are measurable criteria to evaluate goal achievement. These measurable effects relate to a change in a patient's physical condition or behavior that results from individualized nursing interventions. Outcomes should be measurable, reliable, valid, suited to the patient, and sensitive to change. Eat 80 of meals has no time frame. The nursing assistant is not the focus the patient is. Also, the nursing assistant will ambulate the patient or set the patient for a bath are interventions, not outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

C
As epidemiologist, community health nurses use basic principles of epidemiology such as tracking health problems; collecting and analyzing data to identify disease trends, outbreaks of illnesses, and disease incidence rates; and planning strategies to prevent or contain outbreaks. With the goal of helping patients assume responsibility for their own health care, the role of educator is important in a community-based setting. Case management means making an appropriate plan of care based on assessment of patients and families and coordinating needed resources and services for the patient's well-being across a continuum of care. A community health nurse is not the same thing as a public health nurse and is not a competency of community health nursing.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
