Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Reviewing the effectiveness of interventions best describes evaluation. Examining the meaning of data is inference. Supporting findings and conclusions provides explanations. Searching for links between the data and the nurse's assumptions describes analysis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The charge nurse must intervene when the nurse is using previous shift assessments to make a decision; this is inappropriate. Nurses are responsible for assessing their own patients to make decisions. Making informed, ethical decisions in the patient's best interest is practicing responsibly and does not need follow-up from the charge nurse.
