Care plan help - Non Responsive, Imbalanced Nutrition

This is the first care plan I have really struggled with.

I have a patient who is primarily non responsive. He will occasionally acknowledge you and does groan with movement due to pain.

I think his primary diagnosis should be nutrition related because he has been unable to eat. He is on IV fluid. We have to have 5 interventions for each nursing dx and I'm having trouble finding ones that could fit with him.

I have to have three nursing diagnosis - I'm not sure what the other ones should be?

Thanks in advance!

    What is the primary diagnosis for the unresponsiveness/ altered mental status?

    Other diagnoses?

    Current way he's fed?

    Medications?

    Mobility?

    I'm glad to help, but need a bit more information :)

    I PROMISE, there are a LOT of nursing diagnoses that would be good for someone who is unresponsive, has an IV, doesn't communicate, has pain, etc. :up:
