“medication” is incorrect because the medication ordered will not change.
Dif: cognitive level: applying (application) top: nursing process: implementation
Msc: nclex: safe and effective care environment: safety and infection control
3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient’s progress on a new drug regimen since the
first dose and documenting the patient’s therapeutic response to the medication. Which phase
of the nursing process do these actions illustrate?
A. Human needs statement
B. Planning
C. Implementation
D. Evaluation

Dif: cognitive level: understanding (comprehension) top: nursing process: evaluation
Msc: nclex: safe and effective care environment: management of care
4. The nurse is assigned to a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this patient?
