Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse must develop an individualized plan of care for each nursing diagnosis and must set goals that are individualized, realistic, and measurable. The nurse should set realistic expectations for care and should include the patient and family when possible. The goals focus on preventing problems or risks to body alignment and mobility.

Answer to Question 2

A
Caring is highly relational. The nurse and the client enter into a relationship that is much more than one person simply doing tasks for another.
Caring is central to nursing practice.
Caring is focused on the nurseclient encounter.
Expert care alone will not contribute to the health and well-being of clients.
