Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Compare actual outcomes with expected outcomes to determine the patient's health status and progression. Heart rate of 70 is between 65 and 75. Blood pressure 126/64 meets the goal. Did resistive training 1 time and aerobics 2 times equals exercising 3 times a week. Did stretching and flexibility exercises 2 times is below the 3 times a week. Blood pressure 140/90 is too high and does not meet the goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
No two individuals perform hygiene in the same manner; it is important to individualize the patient's care based on knowing about the patient's unique hygiene practices and preferences. Hygiene care is never routine; this care requires intimate contact with the patient and communication skills to promote the therapeutic relationship. In addition, during hygiene, the nurse should take time to learn about the patient's health promotion practices and needs, emotional needs, and health care education needs.
