Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Risk nursing diagnoses are clinical judgments that an individual, family, or community is more vulnerable to develop the problem than others in the same or similar situation. They do not denote a particular link to medical diagnoses nor do they require independent confirmation. Missing data is associated with possible nursing diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Making a judgment that the client is confused is an inference. An inference must be validated with subjective and/or objective data cues. Sources of data cues can be primary or secondary.
