Consider the following nursing diagnosis: Ineffective Breathing Pattern related to respiratory musclefatigue as evidenced by use of accessory muscles. Which part represents the etiology for this diagnosis?
a. Ineffective Breathing Pattern
b. Respiratory muscle fatigue
c. Use of accessory muscles
d. Related to
Rationale: The etiology component identifies one or more probable causes of thehealth problem. Respiratory muscle fatigue is a probable cause of the diagnosis.Ineffective breathing pattern is not a diagnostic label. Related to represents thatthis is a relationship.

A collaborative (multidisciplinary) problem is indicated instead of a nursing or medical diagnosis
:a. If both medical and nursing interventions are required to treat the problem
.b. When no medical diagnosis (disease) can be determined
.c. In cases where nursing interventions are the primary actions required to treat the problem.
d. When independent nursing actions can be utilized to treat the problem.
a.Rationale: A collaborative (multidisciplinary) problem is indicated when bothmedical and nursing interventions are needed to prevent or treat the problem. Ifnursing care alone (whether that care involves independent or dependent nursingactions) can treat the problem, a nursing diagnosis is indicated. If medical carealone can treat the problem, a medical diagnosis is indicated.

Which of the following is stated in the format of a collaborative problem?
a. Risk for decubitus ulcer related to immobility
b. Complication of Immobility: Decubitus Ulcer
c. Decubitus ulcer related to immobility
d. Potential Complication of Immobility: Decubitus Ulcer
Rationale: Collaborative problems are potential problems that nurses manageusing both independent and physician-prescribed interventions. A risk diagnosis isnot a collaborative problem. Decubitus ulcer related to immobility is not stated inthe form of a nursing diagnosis. Complication of Immobility: Decubitus Ulcer isnot stated in the form of a nursing diagnosis.

The nurse is conducting the diagnosing phase (nursing diagnosis) for a client with a seizure disorder.Which of the following elements exists between data analysis and formulating the diagnostic statement?
a. Estimate the cost of several different approaches
.b. Delineate the client’s problems and strengths

Rationale: In diagnosing, data from assessment are analyzed and problems, risks,and strengths are identified before diagnostic statements can be established.Interventions are more commonly part of the planning and implementing phases ofthe nursing process. Cost is an important consideration but would be estimated inthe planning phase.
-
