Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Knee pain is the best translation given for the nursing diagnosis. Arthritis is a medical diagnosis. Unwillingness to exercise assumes information not given in the scenario. Need for a knee brace prescribes a treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
NIC standardizes, defines, and assists nurses in choosing the appropriate nursing interventions. It includes physical and psychosocial interventions, health promotion, illness treatment, and independent and collaborative interventions. NIC is not a basic text. NIC does not provide a measurement language. NIC does not give information about translating nursing diagnoses into nursing problems.
