So I was watching a re-run of ER yesterday (school's out for summer..YEAH) and I actually paused my TIVO and rattled off about 10 nursing diagnoses for this character in the show!! LOL
It was a father of a 11yr old child with MS (diagnosed 2yrs ago) who was emotionally drained. Here's what I came up with:
1. Caregiver role strain
2. Social Isolation
3. Dysfunctional Greiving
4. Interrupted Family Process
5. Ineffective Coping
6. Hopelessness
7. Powerlessness
8. Anxiety
9. Impaired Communication
10. Disturbed Self Concept
I thought it was pretty funny and had to share!

I think it's so funny you say that because I was watching the same one and made many of those same diagnoses.

I went to see Iron Man after graduation - there's one scene where the guy is on a cardiac monitor and the freaking leads were on wrong! It bothered me waaaaay to much.
