    I am going to suggest you give this question a try. Post what you get and then we can help you out if you are going wrong.

    Do you have a nursing diagnosis book? If not you should borrow one at the library. It will help.

    If you don't have a Nursing Dx book, I suggest buying one. I can't live without mine. I use one called "Nursing Diagnosis Handbook" Autors: Ackley & Ladwig
