Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This option is inappropriate since only approved nursing diagnoses should be used to direct nursing care.
Rationale 2: This is not the appropriate method for having a new nursing diagnosis included for use.
Rationale 3: This is the recognized procedure for initiating the approval of a new nursing diagnosis.
Rationale 4: This option is inappropriate since nursing diagnoses are not a part of medical care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: This label contains three components: the problem and its definition, the etiology, and the defining characteristics.
Rationale 2: This label describes the health problem or response by the client for which nursing therapy is given.

Rationale 4: The purpose of NANDA is to define, refine, and promote a taxonomy of nursing diagnostic terminology of general use to professional nurses.
Rationale 5: The NANDA label does need to contain the defining characteristics of the problem.
