Hi Everyone! I need to rank my PES by priority for nursing diagnoses. I am having a difficult time with the risk for vs. the actual nursing diagnosis that I have chosen. So, this is what I am thinking for priorities to assess: 1. Risk for shock -due to obstruction of an abdominal organ and pt has had N/V x3 days 2. Risk for fluid vol deficiency -pt is NPO and has again had N/V x3 days 3. Constipation -pt has not had a BM for x3 days SO, those are my thoughts. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!! :)
