Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Because no two clients respond exactly alike to similar health problems, you always have to ob-serve each client closely in order to make critically sound decisions regarding that client's needs. Answer 1 does not require follow-up because even if it is not true, it does not have an impact on the nurse's perception of the client's care needs. Answer 2 does not require follow-up because it is a nursing action that should be offered to all clients at bedtime.
Answer 4 does not require follow-up because it is a nursing action that should be offered to all clients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Asking for help if uncertain and following standards of practice best demonstrate the critical thinking attitudes of responsibility because failure to do so could result in client injury. Reporting client difficulties demonstrates the critical thinking attitude of responsibility but is not the best option of those available because it would not result in client injury/harm. Offering an alternative approach would best demonstrate the critical thinking attitude of risk-taking. Sharing ideas about nursing interventions best demonstrates the critical thinking attitude of thinking independently.
