Choice A rationale:
Medical diagnoses do not tend to vary depending on the patient’s rate of recovery. They are based on the disease or condition.
Choice B rationale:
Nursing diagnoses do refer to the patient’s ability to function in activities of daily living. They focus on the patient’s response to their health condition.
Choice C rationale:
Nursing diagnoses do not focus on alterations in the patient’s function and structures. This is more related to medical diagnoses.
Choice D rationale:
Nursing diagnoses do not result in diagnoses of disease that impairs normal physiologic function. This is the role of medical diagnoses.

Choice A rationale:
A Placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect and is used as a control in clinical trials. It does not cause birth defects.

Choice C rationale:
Steroids can have side effects and risks, but they are not specifically known to cause birth defects.
Choice D rationale:
Teratogens are substances that can cause birth defects. This includes certain medications, chemicals, infectious diseases, and physical conditions.
