Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After the nurse completes a patient's initial assessment and develops a plan of care, continual reassessment of the patient detects noticeable changes in the patient's condition, requiring adjustments to interventions outlined in the plan of care. The need for continual patient reassessment underscores the dynamic nature of the nursing process and is crucial to providing essential care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
All forms of prescription medication (i.e., oral, topical, and parenteral) require an order before administration, as does providing oxygen to a patient. Medication administration is within the scope of nursing practice and is performed as a dependent nursing intervention. Nurses must complete three checks and follow the six rights of medication administration to safely carry out this type of dependent action. Nurses check the primary care provider's orders, the patient's allergies, and the expiration date of the medication to be administered, and then address the six rights. They include administering the right medication and dosage, by the correct route, to the right patient, at the right time, and documenting correctly.
