Hi, Looking for primary nursing diagnosis. This is my 1st post. I need direction for the following care plan. 59 year old man admitted w/ dehydration and weakness. 5"9" tall and 134 pds. Has large frame. Suffered a mild cerebral vascular accident 6 mths. ago ; at time he was at 162 pds. Claims food doesn't taste good. No known allergies. No drink or smoke. Retired 1 year ago after working factory job for 40 years. Lives alone since wife of 30 years died 7 months ago. Hates to eat alone. Usually eats hot cereal or toast a couple times a day. Hard to chew, dentures don't fit due to weight loss. Makes self get up in am and gets dressed. Stays up frpm 7 am to 10 pm. Generally weak but performs all ADL w/o assistance. Moderate loss of subcutaneous fat and muscle, but not edema are ascites. I thought grieving, but others say different. Would appreciate any input. Many thanks

Include me.....I'm 43 and will finish my pre- reqs in the spring 08 for admission to the IU School of Nursing Fall 08. I've spent 20+ years in the investment field. Lost my passion for it. This will be a great career for me going forward. I'm too busy of person to just sit around. I am concerned about the slots available (200) and the applicants (400). At least that what I hear in Indiana.

Hi..I'm new to all this podcast stuff. It looks like there is a video to this, but I can't view it through itunes. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
