Tell me about all the thinking you did to develop the associated nursing diagnoses for that data cluster set. Then, move on to the next data cluster and make that a new paragraph. Don’t assume your instructor knows anything about your thought process, because they don’t. Show your instructor how you are thinking! How to begin…………….
On a separate page: Include ALL of the questions with the Answers of the questions:
In separate paragraphs, explain the data clusters and which Gordon’s pattern is represented by each data cluster. Which Gordon’s patterns are Functional or Dysfunctional? (Take each of the data clusters and discuss how they helped you.)
