Correct answer: A

2. What is correct about a nursing diagnosis?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. Choice A is correct because it identifies nursing diagnosis as related to human responses to health conditions or life processes. Choice B is incorrect because nursing diagnoses can change as the patient's condition changes. Choice C is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is about responses, not just identifying pathology. Choice D is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is not the same as a disease, illness, or injury; it is a statement about the patient's response to these conditions.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.
