Welcome!

We are happy to help but we need to know what your research has shown you first.

Hi Harry1000. Since you've only made one post, you have perhaps not had a chance to see the terms of service or the disclaimer at the top of the student forum. Short form: We will not do your homework for you. You are in nursing school to learn how to be a nurse; asking someone for the answers like this is not learning. If you tell us, "I have this and this nursing diagnoses because my patient has these things going on and I found thus and such on my examination, but I'm confused about...." then we'll really work hard to help you understand. Or if you said, "My nursing text says A, B, and C, but my lab text says D, E, and F, so which one is it?" we could help you see the reasons for that.

But going on an online nursing forum and saying, "Give me three nursing diagnoses, two actual diagnoses and one risk diagnoses and also the nursing care plan and two priority needs" by tonight (!) or "Describe the difference/relationship between Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Gordon's Functional Health Patterns" is not what your faculty had in mind when they made this assignment.

Nurses have to keep learning their whole professional lives. One of the things you are supposed to learn in nursing school is how to learn, that is, how to find out what you have to know. Reading reference books, looking in the textbooks you're assigned, and so forth...you will be doing that forever. This is how it starts.

If all you do about learning new things is "Go to the keyboard and hit send," then you are limiting your chances of actual learning a valuable skill you will need all your working life. AN is not "Ask Jeeves."

So, OP: what have you learned so far that we can help explain?
