brawhe

I am in need of help. I just started the program and I am having problems with developing nursing care plans. I have a pt that has severe Parkinson's, dementia, depression, psychosis(hallucinations). The pt is unable to bath herself, feed, dress, walk without assistance. Would my primary diagnosis be a self care deficit or risk for falls.? Her tremors are severe, some days she is unable to talk. She tries to feed herself but the food does not make it to her mouth most of the time due to the tremors. I want to go with self care deficit....am I on the right track???
