Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wellness diagnosis is used when the focus is on promoting health and preventing illness. In this case, the client is seeking education on healthy lifestyles and eating habits, which aligns with a wellness diagnosis. Risk nursing diagnosis would be used if the client had specific risk factors for an illness, a syndrome diagnosis is used when there is a cluster of related symptoms present, and an actual diagnosis is used when the client already has a specific illness or condition.
