5. A patient has a problem that prevents him from shaving himself, tying his shoes, or fixing his

a. Induction
b. Deduction
c. Reduction
d. Reflection
ANS: B
Taking general assessment data, drawing conclusions, identifying problems or needs, and
formulating a plan of care are components of a deductive reasoning process. The nursing
