Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3, 4, 5, 6
The accuracy of the database allows for the development of an individualized nursing diagnosis. Physical assessment findings determine the etiology of the diagnosis so that the selection of in-terventions is appropriate for the care plan. Physical assessment is ongoing, and thus the care plan changes with the client's condition. Monitor the client's progress and responses to therapies to review existing diagnoses and identify new problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 3, 4, 5
The inspection portion of the assessment is detail-oriented and must be done thoroughly, which may be time-consuming.
