a. Anxiety

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

Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. ―Anxiety‖ is missing the
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
―related to‖ and ―as evidenced by‖ portions of defining characteristics. ―Anxiety related
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
to new drug therapy‖ is missing the ―as evidenced by‖ portion of defining
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
characteristics. The statement beginning ―Anxiety related to anxious feelings‖ is incorrect
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
because the ―related to‖ section is simply a restatement of the problem ―anxiety,‖ not a
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb

CORRECT ANS: A vb vb
―Right time‖ is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes after the

scheduled dose was due. ―Dose‖ is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time the
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
medication administration is scheduled. ―Route‖ is incorrect because the route is not
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb
affected.
