xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv


The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



been newlydiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv


format for a nursing diagnosis?
xv xv xv xv xv



A. Anxiety
B. Anxiety related to new drug therapy xv xv xv xv xv


C. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug therapy, as evidenced by statements
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



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

abouthaving to test my blood sugars.”
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv




Correct Answer: D xv xv




xv Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: D x v


Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is missing the
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



“related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety related to
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv


new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining characteristics. The
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is incorrect because the “related
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv


to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “anxiety,” not a separate factor related
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



to the response.

B. “Right dose” problem xv xv



C. “Right route” problem xv xv

“Right time” is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes after the
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



scheduled dose was due. “Dose” is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv



the medication administration is scheduled. “Route” is incorrect because the route is not
xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv xv


affected.“Medication” is incorrect because the medication ordered will not change.
