Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Surveillance nursing interventions include detecting changes from baseline data and recognizing abnormal responses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Coordination involves acting as a client advocate, making referrals for follow-up care, collaborating with other health care team members, and ensuring that the client's schedule is therapeutic. This is not a surveillance or technical type of intervention. The nurse is being supportive of the client, but advocacy is more closely associated with coordinating types of interventions.
