Of the following nursing interventions, which is written to be descriptive and directive?
 
  1. Teach client and significant others measures to relieve side effects of antidepres-sants
  2. Assist client to interact with other clients during free time on unit
  3. Praise client for improved personal hygiene
  4. Check lithium levels

Question 2

The nurse has determined that a particular client has a history of violent outbursts. The client has told her that he feels as though he's going to explode. The type of nursing diagnosis that is most appropriate in this case is:
 
  1. An actual diagnosis of an existing problem
  2. A risk diagnosis identifying a potential problem
  3. A wellness diagnosis for an individual in transition to a higher wellness level
  4. All types are equally appropriate even when differently worded

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Nursing interventions should explicitly describe a course of therapeutic activity that helps mobi-lize the client toward a more functional state. Only 1 is descriptive and directive. The other op-tions are nondescriptive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
A risk diagnosis refers to an individual's vulnerable health status. In this case the individual is at risk for violence directed at others.
