Answer to Question 1

C
The steps of the nursing process are dynamic and include assessment, diagnosis, planning and outcome identification, implementation, and evaluation. These steps are the same in all client situations; the steps build upon each other, overlapping with previous and subsequent steps, but will provide differing results because of the creativity demanded when the process is applied to individual situations. The safe and effective implementation of a client's care plan requires the nurse to have psychomotor competence and critical thinking skills.

Answer to Question 2

D
Beneficence is the principle of promoting good and preventing harm to others; it is often viewed as the core of nursing practice. For example, a nurse encourages a client who had abdominal surgery earlier in the day to breathe deeply and cough to keep the lungs clear, while recognizing the procedure is painful to the client at this point in the postoperative recovery process.
