Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Terms describing quality, quantity, frequency, length, or weight allow you to evaluate outcomes precisely. Pain free relates to quantity as well as quality. Do not use vague qualifiers such as normal, acceptable, or stable in an expected outcome statement. Vague terms result in guesswork in determining a client's response to care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Each physician-initiated intervention requires specific nursing responsibilities and technical nurs-ing knowledge. Although the other options are expectations, they are not the primary considera-tion.
