Answer to Question 1

C
During the time when a student nurse works as an employee of a health care facility, perform only tasks that appear in a job description for a nurse's aide or nursing assistant. For example, even if a student nurse has learned how to administer intramuscular medications, a nurse's aide does not perform this task.

Answer to Question 2

B
After a nurse determines that expected outcomes and goals have been met and evaluation confirms it, the nurse discontinues that portion of the care plan.
