Answer to Question 1

give patients the information they need to make decisions

Ethical decision making requires nurses to follow a set of ethical principles that guide professional practice and decision making. When nurses advocate for their patients, they strive to understand and clearly state a patient's point of view to other health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

A
PIE is an acronym for problem, interventions, evaluation as follows (see Table 9-3):
P: Problem or nursing diagnosis applicable to patient
I: Interventions or actions taken
E: Evaluation of the outcomes of nursing interventions
The PIE format simplifies documentation by unifying the care plan and progress notes into a complete record.
