Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Clinical pathways are similar to standardized nursing care plans, but they are designed for the entire treatment team.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse chooses the appropriate diagnosis from the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) list by examining definitions, considering related and risk factors, and choosing a diagnostic concept that fits the assessment data. The nurse adds a descriptor (ie, impaired) and an etiology, or a related to phrase, to provide a precise representation of the patient's needs. Defining characteristics, the third part of the nursing diagnosis, are the subjective and objective data (signs and symptoms) that must be present to substantiate use of the diagnoses. The client's perceived deficits in her parenting ability are central to her statement.
