The nurse is preparing to admit a patient from the emergency department. The transferring nurse reports that the patient is obese.
 
  The nurse has been overweight at one time and works very hard now to maintain a healthy weight. She immediately thinks to herself, I know I tend to feel negatively about obese people; I figure if I can stop eating, they should be able to. I must remember how very difficult that is, and be very careful not to be judgmental of this patient. This best illustrates:
  1) Theoretical knowledge.
  2) Self-knowledge.
  3) Using reliable resources.
  4) Use of the nursing process.

Question 2

How does nursing diagnosis differ from a medical diagnosis? A nursing diagnosis is:
 
  1) Terminology for the client's disease or injury.
  2) A part of the client's medical diagnosis.
  3) The client's presenting signs and symptoms.
  4) A client's response to a health problem.
