Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Each of correct objectives noted are measurable and specific.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
Having the patient demonstrate the process to the nurse or to another person is the best way to ensure that he can perform the skill correctly. Having the patient describe the process or write a description of the process is not sufficient. Asking questions may reinforce learning but may also mask some deficiencies. Asking the patient whether he feels he has mastered the process is not sufficient.
