Hi! This is my first time posting and having an actual nursing diagnoses assignment and I keep doubting my answers and just want to know if there is anything I should improve on. I have to do 4-5 psychosocial/medical and learning needs. This is my Ob...

HI CT Pixie, I just took an exam and the question asked for the Priority nursing diagnosis for a HIV pt. with oral candidias... A. Risk for infection B. Disturbed body image C. Risk for imbalanced nutrition D. Risk for skin impairment I answered the ...

A group of classmates and I are having a debate on what is the nursing assessment highest priority after a patient with bacterial meningitis having a lumbar puncture done. Assuming the CT scan displayed no obstruction. 1. blood pressure 2. urine outp...

So, my classmate is correct with her b/p as the highest priority then? I was thinking about the puncture site as a choice but could not find a rationale from my text to back up the choice.

Thank you! I did. One of the outcomes was "patient will be on suicide observation q15 minutes, she will follow a no-suicide contract and identify at least two people they can contact that can provide emotional support by..." Mental Health care plan ...

Apologies in advance for the long novel but I wanted to give a brief & concise description of my patient. I just had my Mental Health Clinical and am practicing on writing a problems list with diagnosis and then I have to pick one diagnosis for ...

THANKS ESME for your assistance! I got a 96% on my careplan. My teacher did not care much for the No Contract Suicide.

I LOVED YOUR COMMENT! Thank you so much for this! I always felt that I had to pick one or a few specialties to work in, because everybody always asked...what do you want to do as a nurse when you graduate. Deep down, I want to learn EVERYTHING, not t...

Group work is not fun! I will agree that they suck! But, the outcome of it is TEAMWORK...Can you work as a team and succeed? Communication, organization, leadership, seeing differences, etc... My experience was joining a class (group communication: ...

For my care-plan teaching...my teacher wants me to do Safety risk r/t depression aeb previous suicide attempts! Trying to find rationales for that seems difficult. I need 3 outcomes 3 interventions & rationales (with 3 subcategories?) 1a 1b 1...

Love your ideas Esme! I will focus more on my care-plan teaching tomorrow after my Ob exam! Today will be study day :) The nurses report (electronic) never stated why pt. had weakness in legs. My original plan was to teach the pt. not to commit suic...

It is due Friday morning! I try to be an overachiever student by doing things in advance, but it's the getting lost part that gets me finishing the assignment a little later. I have been erasing, rewriting, erasing, rewriting, erasing, and rewriting...

Also, I forgot to add...my teacher does NOT want anything dealing with Ineffective coping

Actually, I think I am more interested in KNOWLEDGE DEF. R/T STRESS MANAGEMENT! :) My teacher told me that there was more than risk for suicide/injury, but I could not put my finger to it.

I've actually learned that my school started counting the absences and tardies because Financial Aid will not pay for students missing class, since the contract is for students to attend class and Fafsa will offer aid.

In addition....what about the Instructors? All of my professors are RNs, MSNs, NPs, etc...Many students tend to forget that they can utilize what they have in front of them :)

I'm in the ADN program. We need an 85% to stay in the program! Probably started off with 70 some students and by 3rd semester we were down to 40 students. We are still losing students this semester. Like GrnTea said, focus on the learning material! T...

Ct Pixie and Esme, thank you! I did not understand the Risk for and AEB when I removed the temp > 100F. I swear, my brain hurt so much yesterday when I was trying to figure this out from 10am to 10pm. It only took so long for me to comprehend beca...

Hi all! Thanks in advance for your help. I have to answer some questions for a patient's discharge. She just had her first baby and I am stumped as to what belongs in the PHYSIOLOGIC STATUS. I answered the Cognitive Status: AOx3, aware of surroundin...

I had something typed up, but the wheel kept spinning as if my comment was being posted, so I have no idea if my post will even show up. Thank you Pixie! After emailing back and forth with my teacher, I don't think I had to use R/T and AEB together. ...
