VNSG 1304: CH 2 PREP U QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
After the nursing plan of care has been developed, the nurse knows that: - Answers -
Each encounter with the client is an opportunity to reassess and revise the plan of care
if necessary.
Explanation: During each encounter with clients, nurses assess function, ensuring
prompt attention to emerging problems. Because a client's condition can change quickly
and dramatically, astute nurses remain alert to subtle cues and inferences. As they
initiate the plan of care, nurses must ensure that the planned interventions are still
relevant.
The nurse assigned to care for a client has established client outcomes and outcome
criteria. After completing this task, what would the nurse do next? - Answers -Write a
client plan of care
Explanation:The planning phase involves writing a client's plan of care based on the
outcomes identified during outcome identification. Goals, objectives, and outcomes are
terms often used interchangeably because they are statements of expectations. As
such, they would be established during outcome identification, after priorities have been
identified.
A nurse administers an antihypertensive medication according to the standardized plan
of care for a client admitted with uncontrolled hypertension. Which assessment
information indicates the expected client outcome has been met within the first 24
hours? - Answers -Client is normal tensive.
Explanation: A specific, expected client outcome is written for each day in a
collaborative plan of care. An expected client outcome after 24 hours of treatment for
hypertension is to have the blood pressure return to the expected range of between
90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. The other options do not directly indicate successful
control of hypertension.
In order to successfully implement the plan of care, what parties are essential for the
nurse to include? - Answers -Client, family, and physician
Explanation: In order to assure the success of the care plan, the nurse must involve all
necessary parties. It is essential that the client be involved in his own health care
decisions. The family provides needed support and the physician is essential to provide
medical interventions. The hospital director is not necessary for the implementation of
the plan of care. Physical therapy and a surgeon are not necessarily involved in every
client's care.
