Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A The time frame of awareness is not the link between nursing and medical diagnosis.
B Potential mobility problems could be a specific nursing diagnosis, but this diagnosis does not apply in all cases.
C The link between nursing and medical diagnoses is the client's chief medical diagnosis and priority, individualized assessments.
D Health promotion activities and education to motivate people to be healthy is not the link between nursing and medical diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

A
Asking the client How have you handled similar stress in the past? allows the nurse to obtain information about the client's usual coping skills and resources.
Asking the client How do you feel when you face stressful situations? assesses feelings, not coping mechanisms.
Asking the client What is it that causes your stress? assesses the stressor, not the client's coping ability.
Asking the client Do you see this as an actual or potential stressor? is irrelevant, because stressors can be either actual or potential.
