Answer to Question 1

A
A nursing diagnosis of Risk for injury related to disturbed sensory perception is the most important diagnosis for a patient with vertigo.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Finding a doctor with whom the patient feels comfortable is of major importance. She will also want a physician who makes her feel comfortable in the office. These considerations are likely to outweigh others, especially when the patient is elderly. A physician in high demand may be less accessible.
