Need help with ranking of Nursing Diagnosis


Im working on my first careplan and am having difficulty understanding how I should rank these diagnosis. My patient has Huntington's Chorea and here are my list of dx

Impaired Swallowing
Insomnia
Constipation
Impaired physical mobility
Self Care deficit (bathing/hygiene, toileting, and feeding)
Risk for Falls
Impaired verbal communication
Disturbed Thought process
Ineffective Coping
Risk for Powerlessness
Risk for Loneliness
Impaired social interaction.

Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Start with your ABC's then refer to Maslow's criteria. Use the NANDA list.
