Answer to Question 1

A
The NIC system provides nurses the ability to determine the costs of services they provide. Because this system is specific to nursing practice, it would not help medical students determine the costs of care. Benefits of using NIC include enhancing communication among nursing staff and documentation, especially within health information systems such as an electronic documentation system. NIC also helps nurses identify the nursing interventions they implement most frequently. Units that identify routine nursing interventions can use this information to develop checklists for orientation.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Headache, dizziness, and tingling of body parts are more likely associated with a neurological problem, not vascular disease.
B Diplopia, floaters, and headaches are indicative of an eye problem, not vascular disease.
C Symptoms of heart disease can include chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, leg cramps, edema of extremities, fainting, and orthopnea.
D Pain and cramping in the lower extremities are usually worsened with activity in vascular disease.
