B
Feedback:
While interpreting results, the nurse should group similar data into clusters. Data pertinent to client care should be identified rather than assigning equal significance to all data. The client has a right to be informed about the conclusions of the assessment. The nurse should not ignore the client's strengths because they can help the client cope with the condition.
