Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should inform the client who is currently taking a diuretic that he or she might experi-ence nighttime awakening because of nocturia.
Diuretic use does not cause nightmares.
Diuretics do not cause increased daytime sleepiness.
Diuretics do not reduce REM sleep.

Answer to Question 2

A
The primary goal of outcomes management is to improve a patient's health status. Assessment skills probably will be improved if a nurse focuses on improving patient outcomes, but this is not the primary goal. Delegating to nursing assistive personnel is not the primary goal of outcomes management. Reducing medication errors is a possible result of outcomes management, but it is not the primary goal.
