Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
A nurse-sensitive client outcome is a measurable client or family state, behavior, or perception largely influenced by and sensitive to nursing interventions. The nurse is instrumental in the pre-vention of falls while the remaining options are dependent on the client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Input from the family and other caregivers can be used to evaluate client outcomes but it is best to use their observations of measurable actions, such as the amount eaten, than to rely on their subjective opinions of a client's reaction, such as pain, anxiety, or mood.
