Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As you implement interventions, use critical thinking to confirm whether the interventions are correct and still appropriate for a patient's clinical situation. You are responsible for having the necessary knowledge and clinical competency to perform interventions for your patients safely and effectively. The nurse needs to recognize the safety hazards of performing an intervention without clinical competency and seek assistance from another nurse. The nurse cannot evaluate interventions until they are implemented. Patients need ongoing assessment before establishing goals because patient conditions can change very rapidly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
