Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Data collection is a systematic process of gathering information about a client.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Whenever possible, it is best to record the client's actual statement. To say that the client is refusing all care today is inaccurate, as the client only refused the bath. Writing that the client is noncompliant is a judgment. Charting that the client did not want a bath is inaccurate because perhaps the client did want a bath but didn't want it at that time. If charting exactly what the client said, there can be no misinterpretation.
