Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Assessment is defined as the act of gathering, classifying, categorizing, analyzing, and documenting information about a client's health status. Evaluations such as determining the efficacy of a medication are forms of assessment as well, but follow-up assessments are usually categorized as evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Seven concepts, called axes, are considered when creating a nursing diagnosis. The diagnostic concept is the fundamental concept being addressed. Judgment is a word that modifies the meaning of the diagnosis. Status of the diagnosis reflects whether the problem is actual or potential (at risk for) or whether it can be categorized as associated with wellness/health promotion. The subject is the person or people for whom the diagnosis is intended.
