Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Evaluation, the final step of the nursing process, is crucial to determine whether, after application of the first four steps of the nursing process, a patient's condition or well-being improves. Assessment involves gathering information about the patient. During the planning phase, patient outcomes are determined. Implementation involves carrying out appropriate nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Evaluation is a methodical approach for determining if nursing implementation was effective in influencing a patient's progress or condition in a favorable way. During evaluation, you do not simply determine whether nursing interventions were completed. The evaluation process is not used to determine when to downsize staffing or how to eliminate paperwork and care planning.
