I'm doing a care plan on a postpartum patient who had someone bring her medication from outside the hospital and midway through the shift had a dramatic change in LOC due to OD. She was hospitalized 3 times during her pregnancy for similar behavior. She also has a history of bulimia but I didn't get a chance to ask her anything about it before she started talking nonsense.
I need one more diagnosis. Also, I feel like I should change some of the ones I have so I don't have quite as many "risk for" diagnosis.
Here's what I have for my nursing diagnosis:
I appreciate any help you can offer!
I just remembered she's GSB+

It's not proper to have Nursing Diagnosis related to another nursing diagnosis like you have with "Risk for infection r/t knowledge deficit."
You also might want to look at Risk Prone Health Behavior.

I changed that diagnosis to knowledge deficit r/t lack of exposure to teaching AEB placement to forgein object in lady parts during puerperium period.
"Risk prone health behavior" is that a NANDA diagnosis?
Wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't.
