Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
All steps of a procedure should be demonstrated, practiced, and provided in writing. The client or caregiver should then perform the procedure in the presence of the nurse to demonstrate understanding. Simply stating the information, providing information about supplies, or asking another nurse to reinforce teaching does not mean the caregiver knows the information.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
When a client is transferred to another unit, the nurse in the original unit gives a verbal report about the client to the nurse in the new area. Continuity of care is not ensured by moving the chart and belongings, delegating responsibility to a nursing assistant, or asking the family to provide information.
