Does anyone have a good nursing dx for a pt who has uncontrollable diarrhea with C. difficile?

I was thinking something about self esteem or body image related to loss of control of normal body function?

Any ideas

Thanks,

Melanie

What about ...

Dehydration, potential for related to diarrhea secondary to c.diff?

What about:

Deficient Fluid Volume or

Risk for Impaired Skin Integity or

Imbalanced Nutrition:Less than body requirements

Well, the nursing dx "Diarrhea" comes to mind

My first thought was fluid volume deficit.

My first thought was fluid volume deficit.

Yep, me too. And previous poster makes a good point, you might want to use Diarrhea as well

Yeah, diarrhea, fluid volume deficit, skin integrity, patient's comfort, disturbed sleep, imbalanced nutrition...

i just finished a nursing dx for a person with c-diff and i used fluid volume deficit, imblanced nutrition, and impaired skin integrity

You can also use infection r/t diarrhea AEB positive c diff culture.
