Typical questions in nursing

Nursing students ask questions in their writing that ultimately help them effectively care for clients. Their questions, such as the following, involve understanding the needs of their clients:

• What information should you collect each day from a client with a particular condition?
• Do the client’s data in the chart indicate a normal or an abnormal status of his or her condition?
• What interventions should you take based on the diagnosis of the client’s condition? Why are those interventions necessary?
• How do you care for a surgical patient with chronic pain?
