help! enterocutaneous fistula concept map!

Published

So i have to do a concept map about a patient who i had.

his admitting diagnosis was enterocutaneous fistula.

i need help on nursing diagnosis. i need 3. i cannot use any diagnosis that contain risk for pain, infx, skin integrity etc.

can someone give me ideas or help me make mine better.

please!

so far i was thinking of..

imbalanced nutrition less than body requirements related to TPN diet but i dont know what evidence to use.

disturbed body image related to presence of stoma, abd surgical incision, gtube, foley catheter as evidenced by pt stating " i dont know what i am going to do when i get home with all these wounds present."

and i need one more!

ps

does anyone know of a good pathophysiology website?

i cant have that because our professors feel we have had to much practice with impaired tissue, infection, etc.
