Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

Nursing care rounds are procedures in which a group of nurses visits select clients individually at each client's bedside. The primary purposes are to gather information to help plan and evaluate nursing care and to provide the client with an opportunity to discuss care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Standardized care plans that identify common problems and needs with relation to select client cohorts may be used. Unless such care plans are individualized to a specific client, however, they may not address individual client needs.
