Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Patients may fail to comply with proposed medical regimens or a plan of care if the plan has no cultural or personal relevance for the patient (or family). The nurse must consider the patient's understanding of the plan, knowledge level, and feasibility in terms of available support, time, energy, and finances. Noncompliance often occurs because the effort, inconvenience, or pain involved with the plan is too much for them to handle. People probably do not refuse to carry out a plan of care simply out of stubbornness, hostility toward healthcare providers, or wanton disregard for their own welfare.

Answer to Question 2

C
The criterion that states A defibrillator is present on each client care area is associated with structure evaluation. Refrains from sharing computer passwords, Washes hands before each client contact, and Verifies client identification before initiating care are criteria associated with process evaluation.
