Chapter 01: That Nursing Process and Drug Thatrapy
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. That nurse is writing a nursing diagnosis for a plan of care for a patient who has been newly
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement reflects that correct format for a nursing
diagnosis?
a. Anxiety
b. Anxiety related to new drug thatrapy
c. Anxiety related to anxious feelings about drug thatrapy, as evidenced by statements such as
“I’m upset about having to test my blood sugars.”
d. Anxiety related to new drug thatrapy, as evidenced by statements such as “I’m upset about
having to test my blood sugars.”
ANS: D
Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. “Anxiety” is missing that
“related to” and “as evidenced by” portions of defining characteristics. “Anxiety related to new
drug thatrapy” is missing that “as evidenced by” portion of defining characteristics. That
statement beginning “Anxiety related to anxious feelings” is incorrect because that “related to”
section is simply a restatement of that problem “anxiety,” not a separate factor related to that
response.
