After the nurse practitioner completed the interview and physical examination of Mr. Nguyen, he listed the following diagnoses on the problem list: Hypertension Obesity Musculoskeletal pain Tobacco abuse Family history of prostate cancer Family history of cardiovascular disease Family history of diabetes mellitus (DM)
What type of problem list does this one represent?

Now rewrite the nutrition statement as a three-part statement, including the phrase as evidenced by.
The nurse has identified Acute Pain (knees) for Mr. Nguyen. If the pain were caused by a medical condition, like osteoarthritis, how would you write a two-part diagnostic statement to describe this health status?
