Answer to Question 1

C
A thorough nursing history includes information about the patient's home and work surroundings. Neither lab results nor the physical assessment will reveal much about the home and work surroundings. Collecting data is part of the working phase of the interview.

Answer to Question 2

C
A nursing database includes a physical examination. Orders are included in the order section of the patient's chart. The nurse reviews the current literature in the implementation phase of the nursing process to determine evidence-based actions, and the health care provider is responsible for ordering medications. Medication orders are usually written after the database is completed.
