Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Students using client records are bound professionally and ethically to keep in strict confidence all the information they learn from those records. The student may discuss care with the instructor, medications with a staff nurse, and laboratory data with the physician. The student should not use actual client names or other identifiers in written assignments or oral reports.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

Information should be documented in a complete, accurate, relevant, and factual manner. Avoid interpretations of behavior, generalizations, and words such as good.
