These are data that are monitored by using graphic charts or graphs that indicated the progression or fluctuation of client's Temperature and Blood pressure.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Flow sheets (D) use graphs to track temperature and BP fluctuations, per charting norms. Progress notes (A) narrate, Kardex (B) summarizes, flow charts (C) diagram processes. D matches graphical monitoring, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Individualizing a care plan is best shown by including the client's preferred times and methods, tailoring care to their unique needs and lifestyle. For instance, scheduling baths when a client feels most rested respects their routine, enhancing comfort and compliance. Writing plans manually or adapting generic ones lacks this personal touch, while matching diagnoses is standard, not individualized. This approach reflects client-centered care, ensuring interventions like wound care timing fit the individual, boosting effectiveness and satisfaction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Basic critical thinking involves following established guidelines or procedures, like using a manual for nasogastric tube insertion, typical for novices relying on concrete rules. The nurse here seeks confirmation, indicating dependence on external standards rather than independent judgment. Commitment reflects decisive action based on internalized reasoning, not manual reliance. Complex critical thinking analyzes and adapts procedures (e.g., modifying technique for patient anatomy), requiring experience beyond rote steps. The scientific method tests hypotheses, not applicable to routine protocol checks. Basic critical thinking suits this scenario, as the nurse applies learned steps without deviation, a foundational level ensuring safe practice while building toward higher-order skills in dynamic clinical settings.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Referral to a cardiologist is secondary care (B) specialized, per system. Primary (A) is initial, tertiary (C) advanced/rehab, promotion (D) preventive not specialist-based. B fits referral level, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The midclavicular line locates the apical pulse at the heart's apex.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the body raises its setpoint. Hot, flushed skin (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this initial response e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per fever physiology.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The ID band is the most reliable method, ensuring accuracy even if the client is confused.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Flow sheets (D) use graphs to track temperature and BP fluctuations, per charting norms. Progress notes (A) narrate, Kardex (B) summarizes, flow charts (C) diagram processes. D matches graphical monitoring, making it correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: If only I insisted is bargaining (C), per Kubler-Ross seeking to undo loss via 'what ifs.' Denial (A) rejects, anger (B) rages, depression (D) despairs. Bargaining reflects guilt-driven deals, making it the correct stage.
