ANS: D K



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



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



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



elated to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of definingch
K K K K K K K K K K K K K K



aracteristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is inco
K K K K K K K K K



rrect because the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “anxie
K K K K K K K K K K K K K



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