Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5

The nursing diagnosis is composed of four components. These components are a diagnostic label, definition, defining characteristics, and risks or related factors. A medical diagnosis is not included in the nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Flow sheets use columns or categories to log in assessment findings and to note interventions performed. Focused documentation records client problems and strengths. Flow sheets reduce repetition and are time efficient. Focused documentation records client problems and strengths. SOAP charting is detailed and includes subjective and objective data, assessment findings, and planning information. APIE charting includes assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation.
