Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Diagnostic reasoning is a process of using the assessment data gathered about a client to logically explain a clinical judgment, in this case a nursing diagnosis. The remaining options do not de-scribe purpose but rather identify outcomes of diagnostic reasoning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
A nursing diagnosis focuses on a client's actual or potential response to a health problem rather than on the physiological event, complications, or disease. In the case of the diagnosis deficient knowledge regarding surgery, the nurse will best minimize anxiety by providing information re-garding pre- and postoperative routines so as to facilitate the client in formulating realistic ex-pectations. Although the other options are appropriate, they are limited in scope and do not have as much impact on anxiety.
