i i i i i i i i i i i i



i monitored frequently to assess for adverse reactions such as cardiac

,The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i



i who has been newlydiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement
i i i i i i i i i



i reflects thecorrect format for a nursing diagnosis?
i i i i i i i



a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy i i i i i



c. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by
i i i i i i i i i i



statements
i



such as “I’m upset about having to test my blood sugars.”
i i i i i i i i i i



d. Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements such as
i i i i i i i i i i i



“I’m
i



upset about having to test my blood sugars.”
i i i i i i i




ANS: D i



Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is
i i i i i i i i i i



missing the
i i



“related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety
i i i i i i i i i i



i related to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining
i i i i i i i i i i i i i



characteristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is
i i i i i i i i i



i incorrect because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem
i i i i i i i i i i i i



i “anxiety,” not a separate factor related to the response.

2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin (Mucinex) twice a day. Today, the
i i i i i i i i i i i i



i nurse was busy andgave the medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was
i i i i i i i i i i i i



i due. Whattype of problem does this represent?
i i i i i i i



a. “Right time” i



b. “Right dose” i



c. “Right route” i



d. “Right
medication”

ANS: A i



“Right time” is correct because the medication was given more than 30
i i i i i i i i i i i



i minutes after the scheduled dose was due. “Dose” is incorrect because
i i i i i i i i i i



i thedose is not related to the time the
i i i i i i i i



medication administration is scheduled. “Route” is incorrect because the route
i i i i i i i i i



is not affected.“Medication” is incorrect because the medication ordered will
i i i i i i i i i i



i not change.
