Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

Collaborative problems are certain physiologic complications that nurses monitor to detect onset or changes in status. Nurses manage collaborative problems by using physician-prescribed and nursing-prescribed interventions to minimize the complications of the event.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Most experienced nurses begin the work of interpreting and analyzing data while they are still collecting it. The term cue is often used to denote significant data, which raises a red flag to look for patterns or clusters of data that signal a nursing diagnosis. In this instance, the client's statement of getting out of breath when walking would be a cue to assess other subjective and objective data related to the respiratory system.
