1. Older clients with arthritis require additional time to complete to complete their own AM care.
2. My client's wife says he loves chocolate milk so I will order his dietary supple-ment in chocolate.

4. Teenage diabetics seem to have a more difficult time making good food choices in order to control their blood sugars.

Question 2

The fundamental goal for the development of a protocol for care of a client who has had a myo-cardial infarction client is to:

1. Implement care that has its basis in evidence-based practice
2. Produce care plans that are specific to the individual client needs
3. Improve the standard of care provided to the clients cared for on that unit
4. Provide the staff on that unit with guidelines to ensure the delivery of quality care

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The nurse delivers each intervention within the context of a client's unique situation. It is an as-sumption that a client who has received bad news would want a visit from a clergy member. The other options represent statements relating to normal characteristics of a specific develop-ment stage, condition, or preference.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Clinicians within a health care agency sometimes choose to review the scientific literature and their own standard of practice to develop guidelines and protocols in an effort to improve their standard of care. All the other options are potential outcomes of the implementation of a proto-col.
