Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross, which later became linked to the International Red Cross, during the Civil War.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The student would have to relate the lab value to the client's current condition, and formulate and put the entire picture together to create a plan of care. Knowledge of blood gas results would not be enough to help the student form a plan of action. Comprehension of a blood gas will not help the student address the current client needs. Application requires only that the student apply knowledge in the current situation.
