Nursing diagnosis

Collaborative problem

Defining characteristic

Etiology

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. The nursing diagnosis "Impaired physical mobility" is appropriate and does not need revision.
B. There is no collaborative problem mentioned in the statement that requires revision.
C. The defining characteristic "patient's inability to ambulate" accurately reflects the patient's current condition and does not need changes.
D. The etiology "related to tibial fracture" should be revised to reflect a more precise causal factor that can be addressed by nursing interventions. A more appropriate etiology could specify the limitation in mobility rather than just stating the fracture.

B. This sequence incorrectly places the left atrium before the right ventricle, which is not the correct flow of blood.
C. This sequence starts incorrectly with the right ventricle, skipping the left atrium entirely after blood is oxygenated.
D. This option also incorrectly starts with the right ventricle and does not include the proper sequence of blood flow.
