Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

The primary purpose of outcome identification and planning is to design a plan of care for (and with) the client that, once implemented, results in the prevention, reduction, or resolution of client health problems and the attainment of the client's health expectations, as identified in the client outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

It is imperative that interventions and outcomes be valued by the client. The client's resistance to using a prosthesis likely invalidates the outcome that addresses his technique for its use. The other statements express cognitive and affective learning needs that would need to be addressed, but none of those precludes his eventual mastery of the prosthesis.
