Answer 1

To complete the community nursing diagnosis, it should include the identification of etiological factors related to the community's coping problems, such as economic, social, or cultural contributors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nursing diagnosis provided is quite comprehensive but to make it a more complete community nursing diagnosis, it should include B)Identification of factors etiological related to the problem. This involves recognizing the underlying causes or contributors to the enhanced community coping such as economic, social or cultural factors. Additionally, it may involve identifying community strengths and weaknesses in dealing with stressors and leveraging that understanding to improve community coping mechanisms.

Examples of etiological factors could be economic hardships increasing stress levels among community members, the impact of historical trauma on a community's ability to cope, or a lack of accessible healthcare resources contributing to stress. By identifying these factors, nurses can work with the community to develop targeted strategies that address the root causes of stress, ultimately enhancing community coping capacities.
