During the nursing assessment phase, a comprehensive information base is developed through a physical examination, nursing history, medication history, and professional observation. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions is not part of the nursing process. Determining the patientsmentalstatusisonepartofthenursingassessment,butitisnot the primary purpose.

Functional components of health patterns are limited to activity, fluid volume, nutrition, self care, and sensory perception. Basic human needs comprise less than merely health patterns. Pathophysiologic needs arenot part of the scope of NANDAI.

ANS:C Diagnostic statements identify problems a nurse is independently able to treat within the scope of professional practice. Nursing diagnoses vary with the changing condition of the patient. The response patterns are unique to the patient and are not disease specific. Nursing diagnoses describe the patients human response pattern.

Standardized terminology assists practitioners in the implementation of the five phases of the nursing process. Classification systems are not related to disease process and arenot used for financial purposes. Classification systems includeinterventions for all health conditions.
