Rationale 1: While accuracy in evaluation is important, it is more important to be accurate in a different step of the nursing process.
Rationale 2: Assessment is the basis for the development of the rest of the steps of the nursing process. While the nurse always strives to be accurate, inaccuracies in assessment will translate as inaccuracies in the remaining steps.
Rationale 3: While accuracy in diagnosis is important, it is more important to be accurate in a different step of the nursing process.
Rationale 4: While accuracy in planning is important, it is more important to be accurate in a different step of the nursing process.
Global Rationale: Assessment is the basis for the development of the rest of the steps of the nursing process. While the nurse always strives to be accurate, inaccuracies in assessment will translate as inaccuracies in the remaining steps. While accuracy in evaluation, diagnosis, and planning is important, it is more important to be accurate in assessment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Assessing the patient's readiness to learn is important but not the primary assessment.
Rationale 2: Educational pamphlets are ineffective if the reading level is above what the patient can understand. Assessing the patient's religious attitudes is important but not the primary assessment.
Rationale 3: Educational pamphlets are ineffective if the reading level is above what the patient can understand.
Rationale 4: Assessing the patient's cultural bias is important but not the primary assessment.
Global Rationale: Educational pamphlets are ineffective if the reading level is above what the patient can understand. Assessing the patient's readiness to learn, cultural bias, and religious attitudes are important but not as important as the patient's reading level.
