Okay I need some help understand which one to use for my resident. Imbalanced Nutrition or Impaired Swallowing?? My resident stated she has problems swallowing sometimes and uses straws for fluids. she does have dentures, full top and partial bottom. I have to a complete write up of one but I'm not sure which one would be right? She does get both constipation and diarrhea. Watching her she does try to take smaller bites. She has GRED and IBS.

I didn't think about that thank you

Thank you

SHe does take PRN for pain and intake is good. I cant do any risk Dx.

Hey yall, I'm working on my first care plan and the nursing Dx have me stumped. My resident is in her 90s with Bipolar and major depressive disorder. She is mostly independent. She has minor cares with grooming, bathing, dressing. She transfers by herself and walks with a walker with no assist. Left side hearing aid, glasses. No major heart problems. I need to come up with 5 actual Dx but I have no idea where to start since she is so independent. The ones I had before did not work but it was due to the fact I must not understand how to apply it to a resident. Please help, ideas, anything would be nice.
