Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The inclusion of the related to phrase requires you to use critical thinking skills to individualize the nursing diagnosis and then select personalized nursing interventions. Although the other op-tions are not incorrect, they do not reflect the best understanding of the purpose of the phrase, To provide for individualization of the nursing interventions is the correct answer.
