Final answer:

Impaired Urinary Elimination is the NANDA-I approved diagnosis from the given list, which is designed for nursing interventions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The NANDA-I approved diagnosis from the options provided is B. Impaired Urinary Elimination. NANDA-I (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International) provides a standardized classification system for the diagnosis and treatment of patient problems. Diagnoses such as Hypertension or High blood pressure are medical conditions and are not NANDA-I approved nursing diagnoses. Whereas, 'Impaired Urinary Elimination' is a specific term used within the NANDA-I taxonomy to describe a patient's altered pattern of urinary elimination, which nurses can address through intervention.
