Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Inability to read health content often means that patients cannot read the information nurses or doctors send home with them about their disease, the medications they are taking, and important things they need to know. Recent research suggests that written information given to most patients should be written at a fifth- to seventh-grade level to make it more likely that they will understand.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient-focused care plan should include any medications that will be given on either a short-term or a long-term basis. For example, goals may be written to apply ointments or patches or to show the patient how he can give himself an aerosol nebulizer treatment.
