Responsibility refers to the execution of duties associated with a nurse's role. For example, when administering a medication, you are responsible for assessing the patient's need for the medica-tion, giving it safely and correctly, and evaluating the patient's response to it. Moral behavior refers to judgment about right and wrong behavior. Ethics refers to the consideration of standards of conduct, particularly the study of right and wrong behavior. A fundamental right of patients is the right to privacy. Privacy becomes a focus of increasing interest as health care becomes digitized, but it is not a focus of this scenario.

Impaired Verbal Communication is the nursing diagnostic label to describe a patient who has limited or no ability to communicate verbally. This diagnosis is useful for a wide variety of pa-tients with special problems and needs related to communication. It is defined as difficulty or inability to use or understand language in interpersonal reactions. Anxiety is not the same thing as aphasia. Although impaired social interactions could be used, based upon the question (diagnosis for patient's aphasia), impaired verbal communication is most appropriate. There are no data in the scenario to say the patient is not interacting with others. There are no data to support ineffective coping; it just says the patient is aphasic but no data address coping.
