Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Altered breathing pattern would be the highest priority because the physiologic need of oxygenation is required for total body function. Risk for altered nutrition, knowledge deficit, and impaired skin integrity would not be of higher priority than oxygenation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When goals are not met, the nurse must reassess the patient's understanding of the interventions and commitment to reaching the identified goal. All phases of the nursing process are ongoing as the nurse continues to evaluate, assess, and readjust interventions as indicated to facilitate patient achievement of outcomes. The patient may have followed the diet but not lost any weight. The nurse's feelings should not be a factor in the assessment. The agency's ability to provide the prescribed diet should have been determined before implementation of the plan.
