Identify the person responsible for analyzing and interpreting data to arrive at a nursing diagnosis:

A. The patient is vulnerable to develop the problem: This describes a risk diagnosis, where the patient has the potential to develop a condition but does not currently have it.

B. There is no evidence of defining characteristics: An actual nursing diagnosis must have defining characteristics (symptoms/signs).

C. A condition is currently present: An actual nursing diagnosis means the condition is already present, with observable signs and symptoms.

D. It is written as a two-part statement: Actual nursing diagnoses use a three-part statement:

1. Problem (diagnosis)

2. Etiology (cause)

3. Signs and Symptoms (evidence)

A. It increases cost.: While initial implementation is costly, computerized charting ultimately reduces costs by improving efficiency and reducing errors.

B. It promotes individualization of the medical record.: Computerized systems standardize documentation rather than individualizing it. However, personalization can be added through specific notes.

C. It improves legibility.: Handwritten notes can be illegible, leading to errors. Computerized charting eliminates handwriting issues and ensures clarity.

D. It minimizes the number of forms to be completed.: While it may reduce paperwork, it does not necessarily minimize documentation, as structured data entry is still required.
