Answer to Question 1

C
Identify patients' expectations about their care, and involve them in planning their care. Encour-age patients to verbalize their expectations so that you are able to establish interventions to meet patients' priorities. Waiting until you feel like you're going to be sick may be too late. Telling the patient that he will get sick may sound like a threat and cause the patient to withdraw. Use soap and water to remove drainage, dried secretions, or excess perspiration.

Answer to Question 2

B
An abstract is a brief summary of the article that quickly shows whether the article is research or clinically based. An abstract summarizes the purpose of the study or clinical review, the major themes or findings, and the implications for nursing practice. A good author offers a detailed background of previous studies and the level of evidence or clinical information that exists about the topic of the article, which is called the literature review. Analysis is the section that explains how the data collected in a study are analyzed. The p value (usually set at 0.05) is a probability level that tells you whether the difference between two groups was likely related to the interven-tion or if it was simply a difference by chance.
