I am doing my first care plan for school and having a hard time coming up with a nursing Dx. It is on a small bowel obstruction. My instructor wants our first dx to be related to the primary dx. I can come up with a good way to word it. it has to be NANDA and with r/t and AEB. the pt had an ng tube to lcs, however no signs of dehydration, had an iv with d5 1/2 w/30KcL @125cc/hr. abd distension. persistant diarrhea. she wants us to use maslows to determine our priority. i am so lost. please help!!!!!!!
