2. The nurse is using data collected to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable
outcomes. Which of the following steps is the nurse applying? a. Recognizing cues
(assessment)
b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis)
c. Generate solutions (planning)
d. Take action (nursing interventions)
ANS: C
When generating solutions (planning), the nurse identifies expected outcomes and uses the
patient’s problem(s) to define a set of interventions to achieve the most desirable outcomes.
Recognizing cues (assessment) involves the gathering of cues (information) from the patient
about their health and lifestyle practices, which are important facts that aid the nurse in making
clinical care decisions. Prioritizing hypothesis is used to organize and rank the patient
problem(s) identified. Finally, taking action involves implementation of nursing interventions to
accomplish the expected outcomes.

the parents and draws up a daily checklist for the family to use. These activities are completed in
which step of the nursing process?
a. Recognizing cues (assessment)
b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis)
c. Generate solutions (planning)
d. Take action (nursing interventions)
, ANS: D
Taking action through nursing interventions is where the nurse provides patient health teaching,

a family member to put the patient’s pills in a pill organizer. This is an example of which
element of the nursing process?
a. Recognizing cues (assessment)
b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis)
c. Take action (nursing interventions)
d. Generate solutions (planning)
ANS: C
Taking action (nursing interventions) involves education and patient care in order to assist the
patient to accomplish the goals of treatment.
7. A patient who is hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) wants to go
home. The nurse and the patient discuss the patient’s situation and decide that the patient may
go home when able to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia. This is an example of
which phase of the nursing process?
a. Recognizing cues (assessment)
b. Analyze cues & prioritize hypothesis (analysis)
c. Take action (nursing interventions)
d. Generate solutions (planning)
ANS: D

hypoxia. The patient has been admitted for increased oxygen needs above a baseline of 2
L/min. The nurse generates an expected outcomes stating, “The patient will have oxygen
saturations of
>95% on room air at the time of discharge from the hospital.” What is wrong with this goal?
a. It cannot be evaluated.
b. It is not measurable.
c. It is not patient-centered.
