Answer to Question 1

A
Reassessment findings that suggest relaxation has been effective include decreased blood pressures, increased peripheral skin temperature, decreased heart rate, and decreased respiratory rate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing diagnoses are statements that nurses use to describe a client's physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social response to disease, injury, or other stressor. Diagnostic reasoning is used to identify the appropriate nursing diagnosis; it is not meant to support the diagnosis. A health problem is a condition that requires intervention to promote wellness or prevent illness; it is sometimes, but not always, a nursing diagnosis. Nursing diagnoses are not medical diagnoses.
