Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
Rationale 1: The nurse can look up a client's nursing diagnosis to see which nursing interventions are suggested.
Rationale 2: Each nursing diagnosis contains suggestions for several interventions, so nurses need to select the appropriate interventions based on their judgment and knowledge of the client.
Rationale 3: All NIC interventions have been linked to NANDA nursing diagnostic labels.
Rationale 4: When writing individualized nursing interventions on a care plan, the nurse should record customized activities rather than broad intervention labels.
Rationale 5: Not all activities suggested for the intervention would be needed for every client, so the nurse chooses the activities appropriate for the client and individualizes them to fit the supplies, equipment, and other resources available in the agency.
