impaired social interaction r/t disturbed thoughts secondary to disturbed body image or defensive coping

just use

impaired social interaction r/t disturbed thoughts

.

disturbed body image

and

defensive coping

are 2 other nursing diagnoses (problems). if you feel there is evidence of these then diagnose them, but it is inappropriate to use them as related factors for

impaired social interaction

.

the only evidence i see for using this diagnosis is her dysfunctional interaction with her family. she does go to bingo twice a week and that is a social activity.
