Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

A nurse-health care team professional relationship occurs when the nurse coordinates the input of the multidisciplinary team into a comprehensive plan of care. The nurse may also serve as a liaison between the client and family and the health care team, as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B

In writing client-centered measurable outcomes, a target time is required. This target time specifies when the client is expected to be able to achieve the outcome. The other options given (the client or part of the client; observable and measurable terms; the action the patient will perform) are all part of client-centered measurable outcomes.
