ANS: B
The standard formal nursing diagnosis serves several purposes. Nursing diagnoses distinguish the nurse's role from that of the physician/health care provider and help nurses focus on the scope of nursing practice (not medical) while fostering the development of nursing knowledge. A nursing diagnosis provides the precise definition that gives all members of the health care team a common language for understanding the patient's needs. A diagnosis is a clinical judgment based on information.
