Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Management is not one of the three components of quality assurance evaluation.
Rationale 2: Structure evaluation focuses on the setting in which care is given. Structural standards describe desirable environmental and organizational characteristics that influence care, such as equipment and staffing. Process evaluation focuses on how the care was given.
Rationale 3: Process evaluation focuses on how the care was given.
Rationale 4: Outcome evaluation focuses on demonstrable changes in the client's health status as a result of nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure.
Rationale 2: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be directly related to each other.
Rationale 3: Once data are complete, the diagnosis and information need to be relevant to each other.
Rationale 4: An incomplete database influences all steps of the nursing process and care plan. The nurse must complete the assessment before formulating a diagnosis about weakness and fatigue. Perhaps this diagnosis is appropriate for this client, but there are not enough data presented to know that for sure.
