Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Analysis of patient assessment data may yield several clusters of related data or cues. It is common to apply several nursing diagnostic statements to one patient. This is especially true for acutely ill patients with multiple problems related to complex physical or psychological needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nursing diagnosis is the second step of the nursing process. Formulation of nursing diagnoses follows patient data collection and involves the analysis and clustering of related assessment information. The use of nursing diagnosis labels facilitates clear communication of patient needs and promotes professional accountability and autonomy by defining and describing the independent area of nursing practice. Nursing diagnostic statements clearly communicate to legislators, consumers, and insurance providers the unique care nurses deliver and the specific nature of the health conditions they treat. Use of a unified language classification system, or taxonomy, is an effective vehicle for communication among nurses and other health care professionals.
