Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,3
Rationale: Ensuring that all clients receive the same type of care is not appropriate as care must be individualized to meet the client's needs. Standardized approaches to care planning are common in many health care agencies.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists in the nurse's mind.
Rationale 2: A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client's care.
Rationale 3: A standardized care plan is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of clients with common needs. For example, all clients undergoing hip replacement surgery would have basic, similar needs or problems such as pain, skin integrity disruption, risk for infection, decreased mobility, or risk for fall or injury.
Rationale 4: An individualized care plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of a specific client-needs not addressed by the standardized plan.
