Question

with an infant mortality rate of 42% and a morbidity rate of infants of 64%." Which statement within the diagnosis would be considered the etiologic statement?

A) Ineffective community therapeutic regimen management
B) Decreased rate of childhood immunizations
C) Participation of 20% of the community in preventive health services
D) Infant mortality rate of 42% and a morbidity rate of infants of 64%

Answer 1

Ans: B
Most nursing diagnoses have three parts: a description of the problem, response, or state; identification of factors etiologically related to the problem; and signs and symptoms that are characteristic of the problem. Decreased rate of childhood immunizations contains the etiologic statement which describes the cause. Ineffective community therapeutic regimen management is the description of the problem, participation of 20% of the community in preventive health services, and infant mortality rate of 42% and a morbidity rate of infants of 64% are considered signs and symptoms of the problem.
