Nursing Diagnosis

Published

I am completeing a community assignment and have to formulate 2 nursing diagnoses regarding things I identified in the community. One item was children riding bikes without protective gear(helmets). Would risk for injury related to lack of protective gear work as a diagnosis?

How about the homeless? Definitely community nursing there. Multiple ways to go with this one:

1. Knowledge deficit related to lack of resources for starters.

2.Alterations in nutrition due to lack of resources.

3.Self-care deficit due to lack of resources

4.Alteration in homeostasis due to environmental changes.

When I was in nursing school I decided to focus on the homeless population in my town and really really learned a lot. It was fun too. Provided a corner flu/pneumonia and TB test clinic. How rewarding!! Gotta love socialized medicine!!!

Here's one... inefficient parenting. Enough said. So glad I don't have to do this nonsense any more!
