Answer to Question 1

ANS:
B, C, D
Rationale: Nursing diagnoses focus on phenomena of concern to nurses rather than on medical
diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
B, C, D
Rationale: A self-report rating scale is useful for obtaining data about the client's perception of
illness at the beginning of treatment, and, with repeated administration, to provide information about
progress over time. The data obtained also permit comparison for research purposes of client
responses with those of groups of people with the same illness. This scale does not refer directly to
nursing diagnoses, although data gathered may indirectly assist the nurse in formulating nursing
diagnoses.
