Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
During outcome identification and planning, the nurse establishes priorities as well as client goals and outcome criteria for outcome identification. During this phase, the nurse also plans nursing interventions and writes the plan of care. Assessment involves data collection; diagnosis involves identifying client problems. Implementation involves putting the plan of care into action.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Outcome criteria are specific, measurable, realistic statements of goal attainment. They may restate the goal, but they also present information that will guide the evaluation phase of the nursing process. To be specific and measurable, certain requirements must be met when writing outcome criteria. Outcome criteria answer the questions who, what actions, under what circumstances, how well, and when. Outcomes may be short- or long-term and are broad statements about what the client's condition will be after nursing intervention.
