HELLO everyone!
i was hoping that someone would be able to confirm that i am on the right track with my nursing dx's for a situation that my teacher assigned me and i need help with the RTs AND AEBs.. so all feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Mr. Jones, aged 68, experienced a stroke 1 week ago that left him with right-sided weakness, aphasia and incontinence. His wife is eager to have him discharged from the hospital so that she can care for him at home. You have heard her tell Mr. Jones, "You don't need to worry about a thing, honey. I will take complete care of you and do everything for you. All you have to do is stay in bed and take it easy."
so far all i have:
Impaired swallowing RT aphasia secondary to CVA
Impaired verbal communication RT aphasia secondary to CVA AEB inability to communicate
Impaired physical mobility RT right sided weakness secondary to CVA AEB poor balance and weakness
Self care deficit RT acute disease process secondary to CVA AEB right sided weakness aphasia and incontinence
Risk for aspiration RT right sided weakness secondary to CVA
Risk for impaired skin integrity RT incontinence and right sided weakness
Knowledge deficit of caregiver of current dx and prognosis AEB ???
Risk for imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements
risk for injury RT right sided weakness

You are spot on with the dx that you have. Don't doubt yourself. Nurses are assertive and confident. Good job.
