Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse has evaluated the injection technique of the patient's spouse and determines additional instruction is needed. The nurse is not assessing the situation because she is not at the beginning of the process. The nurse is past implementation in the timeline of the process. The nurse has already planned and implemented interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The affective domain is characterized by conduct that expresses feelings, needs, beliefs, values, and opinions. The cognitive domain relates to basic factual knowledge. The psychomotor domain relates to kinesthetic knowledge, implemented in performance and skills requiring coordination. Learning style is not one of the three domains of learning.
