1. The nurse is developing a human needs statement for a patient who has a new diagnosis of heart
failure. Identification of human needs statements occur with which of these activities? a.
Collection of patient data
b. Administering interventions

the evaluation phase. Planning, implementation, and human needs statement are not
illustrated by this example.

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? a.
The patient will follow instructions.
b. The patient will not experience complications.
c. The patient will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
d. The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique.
ANS: D
“Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique” is a specific and measurable
outcome criterion. “Following instructions” and “not experiencing complications” are not
specific criteria. “Adhering to new regimen” would be difficult to measure.

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the patient who
is newly diagnosed with hypertension?
a. Providing education on keeping a journal of blood pressure readings
b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient’s input
c. Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications used at home
d. Formulating human needs statements regarding deficient knowledge related to the new
treatment regimen
ANS: A
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
outcomes reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment phase.
Formulating human needs statements reflects analysis of data as part of planning.
