Nursing Diagnosis Nutrition, less than body requirements, imbalanced pg.194 Diarrhea pg. 248 Breathing Pattern, Ineffective pg. 307 Body Temperature, Imbalanced, Risk For pg. 139 Grieving, Anticipatory pg. 646 Community Coping, Readiness for Enhanced pg. 756 Family Coping, Disabled pg. 760 Pain, Acute pg. 486 Walking, Impaired pg. 408 Falls, Risk For pg. 336 Cardiac Output, Decreased pg. 312 Urinary Incontinence pg. 254 Bowel Incontinence pg. 236 Thermoregulation, Ineffective pg. 212 Nausea pg. 188 Hyperthermia pg. 176 Fluid Volume, Deficient pg.151 Body Temperature, Imbalanced pg. 139 Injury, Risk For pg.59 Health-Seeking Behaviors pg. 49 Infection, Risk For Knowledge Deficeit Fear Anxiety If you guys could help me Id greatly appreciate it!
