Hello guys, please help me with my nursing care plan, just want to ask opinions from you on what will be the nursing diagnosis in this scenario below.
Mr. Green is 56 year old man who has been admitted to your ward with chronic back pain. On examination, he is pale and looks exhausted. He has dark circles under his eyes and is constantly rubbing his lower back. When questioned, he tells you that he is unable to get comfortable and that his movement has become very restricted making him unable to perform many of his daily activities. When ask what he understands about his admission he says he hopes just to get some relief from the pain.

I also thought, i would use Chorinic pain, because it is really obvius, but i will have difficulty with the related factor that causes the pain cause the data given in this scenario is limited. So what you think is the right ND for this scenario?

So looking at this scenario what concerns you.

If this was your grandpa what would you want taken care of first.
All care plans think of ABC's....if they aren't breathing they aren't leaving.....this patient is breathing but is in terrible pain....but do you know why they have pain? Yes back pain, he is constantly rubbing his lower back. So what else did the patient tell you....he can't perform his daily activities because his movement has become restricted but what does he need? RELIEF FROM THE PAIN.
