Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The nursing diagnosis is broken up into three separate sections. The second portion of the nursing diagnosis identifies the nurse's assessment of the cause, or etiology, of the problem. The first portion of the nursing diagnosis identifies the focal pattern, problem, or behavior that is observed. The third portion of the nursing diagnosis identifies the evidence or data that indicate or support the problem statement. The nursing diagnosis does not identify steps to resolve the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3, 5
Explanation: When formulating a nursing diagnosis, the nurse should not just focus tightly on the patient's disease or condition, but the nurse should focus on how the patient's disease or condition affects the patient's life and the patient's adaptation to the disease or condition. The severity of the patient's disease or its treatment is not the primary focus of the nursing diagnosis.
