Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

The nurse should use assessment skills to determine the priority of nursing care for the client. Books on nursing can give only the theoretical aspect of nursing care. Client's records reveal information about the client's condition but do not convey the client's needs. Advice from supervisors can be taken if confronted with a problem.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

One of the most important considerations in outcome achievement is to encourage the client and family to be as involved in goal development as their abilities and interest permit. The more involved they are, the greater the probability that the outcomes will be achieved.
