The dose is 180mg. The supply is 30mg/5ml. How many tablespoons does the nurse give?

A. North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) revises the diagnostic labels every 5 years:
This statement is not accurate. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) International does review and revise the nursing diagnoses regularly, but it's not on a fixed 5-year schedule. Changes are made based on evolving healthcare practices, new research, and emerging health issues.

B. A nursing diagnosis describes a health problem amenable to intervention:
This statement is true. A nursing diagnosis identifies a specific health problem that can be addressed through nursing interventions. It provides the basis for selecting nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable.

C. Medical diagnosis is included in the nursing diagnosis:
This statement is incorrect. Nursing diagnoses are distinct from medical diagnoses. Medical diagnoses identify diseases or pathologies, whereas nursing diagnoses focus on the patient's responses to the health condition. Nursing diagnoses are within the domain of nursing practice and are formulated based on nursing assessments.

D. LPNs/LVNs formulate nursing diagnoses:
This statement is generally true. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) can formulate nursing diagnoses as part of their scope of practice. However, the complexity of the diagnosis and the depth of assessment often determine the level of nurse involved in formulating nursing diagnoses. Registered Nurses (RNs) typically handle more complex patient cases and nursing diagnoses

A. "Refuses to have blood drawn. Doctor notified."
This option documents the patient's refusal but lacks specific information about the patient's reason for refusal, which is important for the care team to understand the context.

B. "Doctor notified of failure to draw ordered blood work."
This option focuses more on the failure to draw blood than on the patient's specific refusal and reasoning. It lacks information about the patient's perspective, which can be crucial for understanding their decision-making process.

C. "Blood not drawn because tests are no longer desired by the patient."
This choice provides a clear reason for not drawing blood (the patient's refusal) and includes the patient's perspective on the tests being 'useless.' However, it does not mention the action taken, such as informing the doctor, which is important for continuity of care.

D. "Refuses to have blood drawn; says tests are 'useless.' Doctor notified."
This option combines both the patient's refusal and their reason ('useless' tests) for refusing. Additionally, it includes the action taken, which is informing the doctor. This choice offers a comprehensive and informative description of the situation.
