Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Outcomes are specific, measurable criteria that are used to measure goal attainment. The planning phase (including outcomes and goals) follows nursing diagnosis. Goals are more general than specific.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Renal and hepatic function tests are essential for many patients, particularly older patients and those who are critically ill, as these will be used to determine the proper drug dosage. Complete blood count (CBC) and electrolytes will not help to determine the proper drug dosage. Lipid panel and thyroid function tests will not help to determine the proper drug dosage. Arterial blood gases (ABGs) and a basic metabolic panel will not help to determine the proper drug dosage.
