Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. "Readiness for enhanced urinary elimination" is classified as a health promotion diagnosis, indicating the patient’s desire to improve their health condition and adopt new health behaviors.
B. A risk diagnosis is used when there is a potential for problems to occur, not applicable in this scenario as the patient is actively seeking improvement.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. While anxiety may contribute to hyperventilation, in the context of a febrile child, the primary factor is usually metabolic.
B. Increased metabolic demands due to fever can elevate the body’s oxygen requirements, prompting hyperventilation as a compensatory mechanism.
C. Decreased drive to breathe would not lead to hyperventilation; rather, it might result in hypoventilation or respiratory distress.
D. Infection destroying lung tissues would typically lead to respiratory distress or failure, not directly cause hyperventilation without the context of increased metabolic needs.
