Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The domain of nursing diagnoses includes only those health states that nurses are educated on and licensed to treat. A nursing diagnosis is a judgment made only after data collection. Nursing diagnoses describe a continuum of health states: deviations from health, presence of risk factors, and areas of enhanced personal growth.
Rationale 2: A nursing diagnosis, although familiar to other health care professionals, is nursing focused.
Rationale 3: The nursing diagnosis statement is specific to nursing and nurses and does not include the medical diagnosis.
Rationale 4: The nursing diagnosis, like the plan of care, is specific to each individual client and the client's situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 4, 5

Rationale 1: Allergies is a part of the past history.
