Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse would include the identification of the nursing care problem in the nursing diagnosis. Identification of the disease, the medical treatment plan, and the cause of the disease are all aspects of the medical diagnosis and are determined by the physician, not the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Kyphosis, most common in women, is commonly known as widow's hump or humpback, and is often caused by osteoporosis. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine. It occurs most commonly during adolescence and is more frequently found in girls than in boys.
