I am so lost with nursing diagnoses. I should be further along, but, it's all foreign to me still. Anyway, I was wondering if the following is a good beginning to a physiological nursing diagnosis: Impaired mobility related to inflammation of both right and left feet as evidenced by observing bilateral edema of feet and ankles.

The instructor just said the article should be about a page and half long. And it has to be on something that me go "ah-ha" during my clinical experience. Then I need to use 3 nursing concepts that go along with this "ah-ha" moment. We then need to do a 5 minute presentation on this paper. We only had 3 clinical days. So, I didn't really get any such experience. The only thing I could come up with is the one about dying patients losing their hearing last. Nothing else happened during those days besides that. What I was thinking about is talking about patients on comfort care and that even if they cant communicate they can still hear what is going on around them. I was going to look in my Foundations book under death and dying and seeing if that section may help me.

I need to write a small paper about an "ah-ha" moment I had in clinicals this semester. The only thing I could come up with is, one of the last senses that a person loses before they die is hearing. I accidentally asked a RN how long a certain patient had left while I was in the room with that patient. The patient was mostly non communicative. I was reminded that the patient can still hear me. . Anyway, I would like to write about that, minus patient identifiers of course. But, the requirement is I have to come up with 3 concepts dealing with this. I am lost in what is meant by this. I am a first semester nursing student. Please help. This about one of the easiest assignments I've had all semester. lol
