Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
A quality indicator for evaluating the manner in which care is delivered is a process indicator. Structure indicators evaluate the structure or systems for delivering care; an example is adherence to checking if emergency carts are adequately stocked. There is no team indicator. Client indica-tors would actually be outcome indicators. Outcome indicators evaluate the end result of care delivered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
To manage time, the nurse must anticipate when care will be interrupted for medication admin-istration and any diagnostic testing, and the nurse should also determine the best time for planned therapies such as dressing changes, client education, and client ambulation. Meeting all the needs in the early morning hours would be unrealistic. Some activities have specific time lim-its in terms of addressing client needs and some activities follow scheduled routines according to hospital policy. The nurse may also have to work around other schedules, such as if the client had a test ordered for the morning. Therefore, the nurse cannot expect to meet all of the client's needs at a specified time of day. Because the nurse has a limited amount of time with clients, it is essential to remain goal-oriented and make a plan for using time wisely. Time management in-volves using client goals as a way to identify priorities. The nurse in reviewing the care require-ments organizes his or her time so the activities of care and client goals can be achieved. A nurse should complete the activities started with one client before moving on to another.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.
