Thanks for your help! I figured it out

The nursing diagnosis used is one that the clinical instructor gave us to use. The diagnosis is off a list of one's she has chosen for us to use in this care plan. I am aware that it is not one in our NANDA approved nursing diagnosis handbook, however it's what she wants us to use, so I am. Thanks for the advice! :nuke:

Thanks everyone for answering. Just wanted everyone to know that a neurologist finally believed me and I have been given preventative migraine medication. He tied my congenital heart murmur to my headaches. It only took me me eight years to finally see a specialiest who agreed with me! Yay for persistance and doctors who care! :heartbeat

Hi I'm currently finishing a care plan for a healthy AGA newborn. I'm using the diagnosis: Potential altered body temperature related to immature thermocontrol center, increased body surface: body weight ratio, and no insulation. I for some strange reason cannot think of any possible objective signs for this! I have down that newborn is doubled wrapped in blanket and wearing a hat and gown. But my mind has drawn a blank! You'd think after doing these care plans for two years, I'd have a better idea. Anyone else have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it! :plsebeg:

Thanks guys. But I'm not asking for medical advice or a diagnosis. I'm asking for "ideas." I have tried to take time for myself as well as getting more sleep and eating better. I just want to know if anyone has tried any other ways of relieving headaches.

Ok so for the past eight years I have had intermittent headaches. With the start of nursing school (I'm in the end of my junior year of a BSN program) they have been getting worse. I've seen an ENT and he states they are not sinus related, and I've seen a primary care doc and have gotten an MRI and she says that they are stressed induced. The thing is I had them before all the stress of nursing school! They are usually on top of my head (can be both or either side) and can start from my forehead up (if that makes any sense). I have seen eye doctors since I was eight and have been told my headaches are not from vision problems. I also have a neurologist appointment this coming Friday. Anyone have any ideas or comments? I would greatly appreciate them as OTC meds and the few prescriptions I've been on (ultram and amitryptilline) have not helped! It's really hard to concentrate when you have a headache and as it's getting closer to finals, I need to fix it soon. At least until the summer!
