Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Critical pathways are standardized care plans that detail clinical interventions to be performed over a projected time frame for a specific disease or case type. Physician interventions are included in the pathways. Critical pathways enhance the quality of care and require evaluation and modification on an ongoing basis. Critical pathways assist as a communication system for all health care providers. Medical plans are distinct to physicians. Critical pathways should be evaluated as needed to achieve desired outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse has used evaluation to assess the response to the administered medication. Intervention is the administration of the medication or teaching about the medication in this situation. This situation is not an example of making a nursing diagnosis. Planning is developing goal statements and prioritizing patient problems.
