Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
State nurse practice acts have included diagnosis as part of the domain of nursing practice for which nurses are held accountable. Overall management of the care team is not an explicit responsibility of nurses. Nurses generally do not have prescriptive authority. The responsibility for mentorship is not enacted in law.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
These methods of validating data and inferences are necessary before cues are clustered and analyzed for identification of nursing diagnoses.
