PART 1: PHARMACOLOGY BASICS
CHAPTER 01: THE NURSING PROCESS AND DRUG THERAPY

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. THE NURSE IS WRITING A NURSING DIAGNOSIS FOR A PLAN OF CARE FOR A PATIENT WHO HAS
BEEN NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES. WHICH STATEMENT REFLECTS THE CORRECT FORMAT
FOR A NURSING DIAGNOSIS?

A. ANXIETY

B. ANXIETY RELATED TO NEW DRUG THERAPY

C. ANXIETY RELATED TO ANXIOUS FEELINGS ABOUT DRUG THERAPY, AS EVIDENCED BY
STATEMENTS SUCH AS “I’M UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO TEST MY BLOOD SUGARS.”

D. ANXIETY RELATED TO NEW DRUG THERAPY, AS EVIDENCED BY STATEMENTS SUCH AS “I’M
UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO TEST MY BLOOD SUGARS.”

ANS: D
FORMULATION OF NURSING DIAGNOSES IS USUALLY A THREE-STEP PROCESS. “ANXIETY” IS MISSING
THE “RELATED TO” AND “AS EVIDENCED BY” PORTIONS OF DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS. “ANXIETY
RELATED TO NEW DRUG THERAPY” IS MISSING THE “AS EVIDENCED BY” PORTION OF DEFINING
CHARACTERISTICS. THE STATEMENT BEGINNING “ANXIETY RELATED TO ANXIOUS FEELINGS” IS
INCORRECT BECAUSE THE “RELATED TO” SECTION IS SIMPLY A RESTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
“ANXIETY,” NOT A SEPARATE FACTOR RELATED TO THE RESPONSE.

DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTANDING (COMPREHENSION) TOP: NURSING PROCESS: NURSING
DIAGNOSIS
