Answer to Question 1

D
A nursing diagnosis is specific to the patient's nursing care needs and relates to the areas in which the individual has difficulty functioning. For example, a patient with a medical diagnosis of diabetes may have skin integrity problems that are addressed in the nursing diagnosis and plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

A
This principle should be the one that guides what you do with any information gathered on any category of patient. The other answers are distracters used in an effort to plant firmly in the student's mind the fundamental purpose of doing any assessment.
