Qualifiers are added to some NANDA statements to:

1. Explain the cause of the nursing diagnosis.
2. Give additional meaning to the diagnostic statement.
3. Connect to the medical diagnosis.
4. Identify collaborative problems.

Question 2

The nurse is asked to obtain informed consent for surgery that will be performed on a client the following day. The appropriate action is:

1. Explaining the procedure to the client, and having the client sign the form.
2. Witnessing the signature, not whether the client understands what will occur.
3. Having the client sign a blank form that the physician can fill out later.
4. Having a family member talk to the patient to convince him to have the procedure.
