Knowledge deficit
Altered nutrition, less than bodily requirements
Impaired skin integrity

Explanation

Answer: B-A common nursing diagnosis seen during the preoperative period is knowledge deficit related to the surgical procedure.

Knowledge deficit recognizes that the patient may need only small amounts of teaching or may need considerable education.
