What do you have so far? :)

since patient X swallowed a razorblade (i can only assume he/she did that on purpose) then go into the psychological problems your patient was having. That will give you some good stuff.

risk for infection r/t the IV as well though you cant word it that way.

The only thing was swallowing a razor blade!?! Was this intentional? Not sure how it couldn't be......what were the reasons? Any hx of swallowing objects? Lots of potentials here for the psych part. I didn't have any pts swallowing objects until beginning in behavioral health. Now, its still amazes me what pts can swallow and put in other parts. Kinda cool hey to have something a little different?

Yes it very different and if this was psych I would be jumping up and down but its not which means I need to do two physiological nursing dx and only one psych and i have my psych risk for suicide. I was thinking about risk for bleeding and something with safety.

Maybe something along the lines of:

Risk for bleeding R/T foreign body ingestion, AEB client report of swallowing a razor-blade.

Impaired safety R/T altered thought process, AEB client report of thoughts of harming himself/herself.
