Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The nursing care plan enhances the continuity of nursing care by listing specific nursing interven-tions needed to achieve the goals of care. Although the rest are functions, they are not the pri-mary function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Each state within the United States has developed a Nurse Practice Act that defines the legal scope of nursing practice (see Chapter 22). According to the Nurse Practice Act in a majority of states, independent nursing interventions pertain to activities of daily living, health education and promotion, and counseling. Although the other answers must be considered, they are not the first consideration.
