c. Risk of ineffective health maintenance among individuals who do not have access to a primary care provider
d. Ineffective coping related to multiple stressors, as evidenced by client crying and stating she has no support system
ANS: B
There are three parts of the NANDA system: (1) identification of the problem or potential prob-lem; (2) its relation to factors, stressors, or health issues; and (3) supporting data that documents the problem. The "risk of" identifies a specific problem or health risk faced by the community. "Among" identifies the specific community client with whom the nurse will be working in rela-tion to the identified problem or risk. "Related to" describes characteristics of the community.
