ANS: A
If a nursing diagnosis is unresolved or if you determine that a new problem has perhaps developed, reassessment is necessary. A complete reassessment of patient factors relating to an existing nursing diagnosis and etiology is necessary when modifying a plan. The nurse must assess before revising, delegating and applying medication. The breakdown may be a result of inadequate nutritional intake and medication cannot be applied unless there is an order.
