Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Collaborative interventions are treatments initiated by other providers, such as pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and other members of the health care team. Teaching the client how to walk with crutches would be a collaborative intervention. Administering medications, performing tracheostomy care, and catheterizing a client require a physician's order and are physician-initiated interventions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, E

Using NIC/NOC standardized language demonstrates the impact that nurses have on the system of health care delivery; standardizes and defines the knowledge base for nursing curricula and practice; facilitates the selection of appropriate nursing interventions; facilitates the teaching of clinical decision making to novice nurses; enables researchers to examine the effectiveness and cost of nursing care; assists educators to develop curricula that better articulate with clinical practice; assists administrators in planning more effectively for staff and equipment needs; promotes the development and use of nursing information systems; and communicates the nature of nursing to the public.
