Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

It is important to use guidelines to formulate correctly written nursing diagnoses. The nurse would not use client needs, put defining characteristics before the diagnoses, or judge the willingness of the client to cough.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

The nurse reaches one of four basic conclusions after interpreting and analyzing the client data. Different nursing responses are possible for each conclusion. In this case, the nurse would most likely conclude there was no problem and reinforce the client's health habits.
