Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The process of deriving community nursing diagnoses always remains the same. First, assessment data are categorized and studied for inferences that are descriptive of potential or actual health problems amenable to nursing interventions; second, associated inferences are identified that explain the derivation or continuation of the problem; and third, documentation is presented. Determining the order of priority among community nursing diagnoses is part of program planning and depends on existing community goals and resources as well as the community's priorities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The completeness and validity of the diagnoses that have been derived will be tested during the next stage of the nursing process and will form the foundation of that stagethe planning of a health program.
