ANS: D vx




Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-vx vx vx vx vx vx vx




step process. “Anxiety” ismissing the
vx vx vx vx




“related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety r
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx v




elated to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of definingc
x vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx




h aracteristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is in
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx




co rrect because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “a
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx




nxie ty,” not a separate factor related to the response.
