Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

After a tentative nursing diagnosis is made, it should be validated. Clients who are able to participate in decision making should be encouraged to validate the diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

The problem, a part of a nursing diagnosis, describes the health state or health problem of the client as clearly and concisely as possible. It identifies what is unhealthy about the client and what the client would like to change. It also suggests client outcomes but is not an outcomes statement.
