Answer to Question 1

C
Diagnostic reasoning involves the use of cognitive thinking, metacognition (thinking about thinking), and assessment skills to structure situations so a nurse can apply knowledge. Expert nurses make diagnostic conclusions in the form of nursing diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

B
Give special attention to any urgent needs the infection creates. For example, if the patient's infection becomes systemic, a nurse will need to manage fever and prevent dehydration. Once the infection begins to resolve, focus priorities on patient education and emotional support.
