D) Diagnosis of the community group, population, or cluster of people with at least one common characteristic
Ans: C
A diagnosis is a statement that synthesizes assessment data. A diagnosis is a label that both describes a situation (or state) and implies an etiology (reason). A nursing diagnosis limits the diagnostic process to those diagnoses that represent human responses to actual or potential health problems that nurses are licensed to treat. A community nursing diagnosis focuses the diagnosis on a community—usually defined as a group, population, or cluster of people with at least one common characteristic.
