Question 1
A nursing student is learning to use a care plan book. Which component of the
nursing process should the student identify as the first step?
A) Implementation
B) Planning
C) Assessment
D) Evaluation
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct (C): The nursing process begins with assessment, which involves
collecting subjective and objective data about the client. All subsequent steps
depend on accurate assessment.
Incorrect (A): Implementation occurs after planning and is not the first
step.
Incorrect (B): Planning occurs after assessment and nursing diagnosis have
been completed.
Incorrect (D): Evaluation is the final step of the nursing process.
Study Tip: "Nursing process = ADPIE: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning,
Implementation, Evaluation. 'Assessment Always Done First.'"
Question 2
A nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a postpartum client. According to
NANDA International, which part of the nursing diagnosis is the "related to"
(R/T) statement?
, A) The problem (diagnostic label)
B) The defining characteristics
C) The cause or etiology of the problem
D) The expected outcome
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct (C): The "related to" (R/T) statement in a nursing diagnosis
identifies the cause, etiology, or contributing factor of the problem.
Incorrect (A): The problem is the diagnostic label (e.g., "Acute Pain").
Incorrect (B): Defining characteristics are the assessment findings that
support the diagnosis (evidenced by/ AEB).
Incorrect (D): Expected outcomes are part of the planning phase, not the
nursing diagnosis statement.
Study Tip: "Nursing diagnosis = Problem (label) R/T etiology AEB defining
characteristics. 'R/T = Reason for the problem.'"
