Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Client statement, "It's hard for me to catch my breath"
Client report of sore throat and hoarseness
Pain rating of 6/10

Rationale :

🗣 Client statement, "It's hard for me to catch my breath" This is subjective data because it is reported by the client and reflects personal experience.

🗣 Client report of sore throat and hoarseness Subjective symptoms are based on client perception, not measurable by the nurse.

🗣 Pain rating of 6/10 Pain is inherently subjective; it relies on client’s self-report.

🗣 Lung sounds revealing crackles and heart rate of 108 beats/minute are objective data, as they can be measured or observed by the nurse.

🔹 Relevant data helps the nurse focus on cues that affect clinical outcomes.

🔹 Prioritizing relevant data supports effective clinical judgment and decision-making.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

The client will use the incentive spirometer, cough & deep breaths every 2 hours while awake

Rationale :

🔹 “The client will use the incentive spirometer, cough & deep breaths every 2 hours” is a specific, measurable, and time-bound goal, reflecting the planning stage.

🔹 Checking with the client after acetaminophen is part of evaluation, assessing if interventions were effective.

🔹 Taking vital signs every 4 hours is part of implementation or assessment, not planning.

🔹 Administering ciprofloxacin is an implementation action, carrying out the plan of care.

🔹 Planning ensures that nursing interventions are purposeful and goal-oriented to achieve optimal client outcomes.

Administering oral medications to stable clients

🔹 Ensures safe, effective client care and compliance with nursing regulations.
