Neuman's System Model details the nursing diagnosis as:
 
  1. A comprehensive statement about the client's general condition and actual and potential variances from wellness.
  2. Stated in terms of a client's limitations in self-care.
  3. Focusing on adaptation problems.
  4. Meeting healthcare needs in the context of a client's patterns.

Question 2

The nurse caring for a breastfed infant who is 36 hours old notes the neonate has fewer wet diapers than the bottle-fed baby. The nurse attributes this to:
 
  1. The mother's milk has not come in yet.
  2. The breastfed infant works harder to eat.
  3. The bottle-fed baby has a smaller bladder capacity.
  4. The breastfed infant might have a kidney disorder.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Neuman's systems model views the diagnosis as a comprehensive statement about the client's general condition that is used to formulate and prioritize client needs and to identify interactions.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Breastfed infants receive a highly concentrated liquid called colostrum until the mother's milk supply begins at 3-4 days of age, so the baby becomes mildly dehydrated during this time, and will have fewer wet diapers.
