Answer to Question 1

C
In an acute care setting the goal for the diagnosis Risk for Infection is to control or decrease the progression of infection. An outcome is The patient's wound drainage will decrease in 2 days. Decreased incisional pain is an expectation postsurgically and not directly related to infection. Having the patient describe the signs/symptoms of infection will aid in early detection, but not in preventing infection.

Answer to Question 2

A
After applying evidence in practice, the next step is to evaluate the effect. Newhouse and White (2011) recommend that to be successful in changing practice within an organization, it is essential to Engage, Educate, Execute, and Evaluate. Engage and execute have already occurred because the change has taken place. Encourage is not a step in the evidence-based process.
