Answer to Question 1

C
Initial planning involves development of a preliminary plan of care; this planning occurs when the nurse obtains comprehensive admission assessment data. Ongoing planning involves continuous updating of the client's plan of care, incorporating additional data about the client, and making appropriate revisions in the initial plan. Discharge planning involves anticipating the client's needs for care after discharge from the health care facility.

Answer to Question 2

B
Autonomy refers to a person's right to choose and to act on that choice; it means that each person's right to make decisions is to be respected. In client care situations, a nurse must respect a client's right to decide a course of action; if a client is unable to make a decision because of legal incompetence, the nurse is responsible to protect that client, thus becoming the client's advocate.
