thank you for your input, it's much appreciated. I am just starting the program and we are now in the Nursing Process section and we were given this scenario. We were asked to provide an actual and a potential nursing dx. I am thinking of putting Anxiety, ineffective coping or stress overload as my actual dx but I need to choose the priority nursing dx...

No. 😀

Thanks

Actual dx: Stress overload r/t stressors aeb client reports unable to work around her tasks or Anxiety r/t situational crises aeb clients states she's feeling apprehensive and unable to handle tasks. Potential dx: Risk for ineffective coping r/t apprehension and multiple stressors. Risk SK for impaired social interaction r/t situational crises... ?

Hi! I am new to Allnurses.com and Im glad there are nurses who are selflessly helping other nurses and students. I am a mature student taking up nursing and I struggling to make an actual and potential nursing diagnosis. I am not sure if I'm on the right track... I've in one of the threads that I have to follow the ABC rule, but I'm stuck... here's the scenario: JM is 20-year old student, with 3 younger siblings, parents are both living, residing in Atlanta. She moved from Atlanta to California with her boyfriend. She is 2 weeks away from completing a course work, study for finals and buy a wedding gift for her aunt. She's having a hard time maintaining her part-time job in the gas station since she is doing 3 12-hour shifts in the clinical setting each week while squeezing in an English class every night. She lives on take out food and coffee while trying to finish her research paper and having a hard time writing it. Her boyfriend is asking her to spend more time with him
