Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Decision making requires choosing a solution to a problem. Reasoning is the process by which a nurse determines a patient's health status after gathering data and applying meaning to behaviors and physical signs and symptoms. A systematic approach in finding solutions is termed problem solving, and judgment is the process of forming an opinion by comparing solutions through reasoning.

Answer to Question 2
