Help with physiologic diagnosis for genital herpes

Published

I'm a student and we have to do an extensive care map for a patient with herpes. I can NOT use risk for infection or risk for pain. I must have at least 3 diagnoses, one of which must be physiologic, one psychosocial and one that is health promotional. I am beating my head against the wall with this--and it's probably so obvious--but for the life of me, I can NOT come up with a physiological diagnoses. Herpes won't have any bearing on circulation, gas exchange, etc. Any ideas?

THANKS!!!

I really dont want to be a jerk here but there is absolutely nothing in the OPs initial post regarding genital herpes. The stated disorder was "herpes"......the quickest way to miss a question on a test is to read into it yes?

Anyway, I am moving along...

There is a great deal of ambiguity in nursing diagnoses and this is exactly why in the not so distant future, they will cease to exist........
