The dose is 8mg. The supply is 4mg/ml. How many ml does the nurse give?

A. Evaluation:
Evaluation involves the assessment of a patient's response to nursing interventions and the effectiveness of the care plan. In this scenario, the nurse is not evaluating the patient's response to previous interventions but is rather in the process of conducting a new assessment.

B. Assessment:
This statement is correct. The nurse is in the assessment phase of the nursing process. She is collecting data by checking the patient's record, performing a physical examination (digital rectal exam), and noting the patient's complaint and signs of constipation (no bowel movement for three days, hard stool). Assessment is the first step of the nursing process and involves data collection to identify health problems and needs.

C. Nursing Diagnosis:
Nursing diagnosis involves analyzing the data collected during the assessment to identify actual or potential health problems. The nurse has not reached the stage of formulating a nursing diagnosis in this scenario; she is still gathering data.

D. Implementation:
Implementation is the phase of the nursing process where nursing interventions are carried out based on the nursing care plan. The nurse is not implementing interventions yet but is still in the process of data collection.

A. Comprehensive plan to allow patient access to medical records.

While electronic medical records (EMRs) do facilitate patient access to their medical information, the primary goal of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was broader. It aimed to improve healthcare quality, safety, and efficiency through the promotion of health IT, including EMRs.

B. Comprehensive document of health care costs.

Although EMRs can include billing information, the main purpose of EMRs is to record clinical data for patient care and not specifically to document healthcare costs.

C. Comprehensive plan of care for all patients.

EMRs are tools used by healthcare providers to record patient information and manage healthcare delivery. While they can support the creation and management of care plans, their primary function is to store patient data electronically rather than generating care plans.

D. Correct comprehensive record of a patient's history and care across all facilities and admissions.

This statement best reflects the primary goal of the electronic medical record implementation. EMRs are designed to provide accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information about a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory test results, among other essential data. They ensure that this information is accessible to authorized healthcare providers across various facilities and admissions, improving continuity of care and patient safety.
