Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
A concept map is a diagram of client problems and interventions that shows their relationship to one another. Multidisciplinary communication is enhanced with the use of critical pathways, not concept maps. The use of a concept map promotes critical thinking and helps nurses to organize complex client data, process complex relationships, and achieve a holistic view of the client's sit-uation. The purpose is not quality assurance in the health care facility. Standardized or computer-ized care plans provide a standardized format for client problems, not the concept map. A con-cept map is highly individualized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Client will independently perform subcutaneous insulin injection by 8/31. is the most appropri-ate outcome statement. It addresses the nursing diagnosis by identifying a singular outcome the client can realistically achieve, is observable, and provides a time frame. Client will perform glucose measurements often. does not specify a time frame. Client will appear less anxious re-garding diagnosis. is not an appropriate outcome statement. There is no specific behavior ob-servable for will appear. Urinary output will reach normal young adult levels. is not an ap-propriate outcome statement. It does not provide a standard against which to measure the client's response to nursing care, and therefore is not measurable. It is also not time-limited.
