Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The continuation of the client's care plan is not the sole responsibility of the admitting nurse.
Rationale 2: Although this is true, there is another option that better answers the item.
Rationale 3: Planning is basically the nurse's responsibility, but input from the client and support persons is essential if a plan is to be effective. In this case, therapies from other disciplines (occupational, physical, speech, etc.) would be involved because the client is in a comprehensive rehabilitation center. The client's support people and caregivers are also going to be involved in the plan of care, but not exclusively.
Rationale 4: Although it is important for the client and the client's support people and caregivers to be involved in the plan of care, there is an option that better answers this item.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale: For the client requesting information for chronic low back pain, the human response pattern of moving would be appropriate because it addresses activity.
