Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Nursing diagnosis must begin with a diagnostic concept that has a nursing focus rather than a medical or psychiatric diagnosis. Nursing diagnostic statements do not normally specify a time frame. The statement lacks evidence, but the most significant problem is the lack of an acceptable nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Anxiety on the nurse's part is one of many factors that can influence outcomes. It is widely recognized that as anxiety increases, the person's ability to focus narrows. Nurses who begin interviews in a highly anxious state may find it difficult to focus on thorough data collection or interpretation.
