Concept Check 5.2

Question: What point defects are possible for MgO as an impurity in Al2O3? How many Mg2+ ions must be added to form each of these defects?

Answer: For every Mg2+ ion that substitutes for Al3+ in Al2O3, a single positive charge is removed. Thus, in order to maintain charge neutrality, either a positive charge must be added or a negative charge must be removed.

Positive charges are added by forming Al3+ interstitials, and one Al3+ interstitial would be formed for every three Mg2+ ions

NANDA Nursing Diagnoses: A Comprehensive Guide

Alternative Methods of Utilizing NANDA Diagnoses

The inductive methodology is a common approach to utilizing NANDA diagnoses. This involves the reception of data by a committee, which then moves through established criteria to determine the inclusion of new or existing diagnoses and validate or modify them as needed. Additionally, there is an appeal process for decisions made by the Diagnosis Reception Committee (DRC). However, there is a general lack of a pre-established framework, leading to variability
