MULTIPLE CHOICE x




1. The nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has b
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



een newlydiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects the correct f
x x x x x x x x x x x x



ormat for a nursing diagnosis?
x x x x



a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug therapy x x x x x



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



atements
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
x x x x x x x x x x x x



’m
upset about having to test my blood sugars.”
x x x x x x x




ANS: D x



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



step process. “Anxiety” is missing the
x x x x x



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



ted to new drug therapy” is missing the “as evidenced by” portion of defining charact
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



eristics. The statementbeginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is incorrect b
x x x x x x x x x x x



ecause the “related to” section is simply a restatement of the problem “anxiety,” not a
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



x separate factor related to the response.

“Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique” is a specific and measurabl
x x x x x x x x x x



e outcome criterion. “Following instructions” and “not experiencing complications”
x x x x x x x x x



are not specific criteria.“Adhering to new regimen” would be difficult to measure.
