Final Answer :
A,D
Explanation :
ANA standard 3 includes the following: "derives culturally appropriate expected outcomes from the diagnosis" and "involves the healthcare consumer,family ...in formulating expected outcomes...." It is acceptable for the nurse to use outcomes on a clinical pathway,but these are not individualized; ANA standard 3 says that the nurse "defines ...outcomes in terms of the healthcare consumer...culture,values,and ethical considerations" The standard also says that the nurse should consider "associated risks,benefits,and costs...."
