i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
who has been newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which statement
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
reflects the correct format for a nursing diagnosis?

i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
D) Anxiety related to new drug therapy, as evidenced by statements
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
such as "I'm upset about having to test my blood sugars."
i.- i.- D i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-i.- i.-
Formulation of nursing diagnoses is usually a three-step process. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
"Anxiety" is missing the "related to" and "as evidenced by" portions of
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
defining characteristics. "Anxiety related to new drug therapy" is
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
missing the "as evidenced by" portion of defining characteristics.

i.- i.-
B) "Right dose"

, C) "Right route"

minutes after the scheduled dose was due.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
The nurse has been monitoring the patient's progress on a new drug
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-
