Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Consultation-as in advanced practice nurses and staff nurses working together-is a way for those involved with the client's care to influence the plan, enhance the abilities of others, and effect change. Consultation is part of Standard 5: Implementation. Assessment deals with data collection. Outcomes identification sets identified goals for a plan specific to the client or situation. Planning prescribes strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Evaluation, Standard 6, evaluates the progress toward attainment of outcomes. Since the progress was recovery in this case, and at a greater level than expectations, the nurse would be evaluating the plan of care. Diagnosis analyzes the assessment data to determine problems. Planning involves prescribing strategies and alternatives to attain expected outcomes. Implementation consists of coordinating care, teaching, consultation, prescriptive authority, and treatment/evaluation.
