Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: A syndrome diagnosis is a diagnosis that is associated with a cluster of other diagnoses (in this situation, Urinary elimination alteration, Impaired skin integrity, and Powerlessness).
Rationale 2: A risk nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment that a problem does not exist, but the presence of risk factors indicates that a problem is likely to develop unless the nurse intervenes.
Rationale 3: An actual diagnosis is a client problem that is present at the time of the nursing assessment.
Rationale 4: A wellness diagnosis describes human responses to levels of wellness in an individual, family, or community that has a readiness for enhancement.
