ANS: A
Diagnostic reasoning is defined as a process of using the assessment data gathered about a patient to logically explain a clinical judgment, in this case a nursing diagnosis. Defining characteristics are assessment findings that support the nursing diagnosis. Clinical criteria are objective signs or subjective symptoms. Diagnostic labeling is simply assigning the diagnosis.
