I can't go for any risk for diagnoses .... I thinking either I need to change direction and go for a knowledge deficit or grieving diagnosis now... Yes my young imaginary patient's brain and nerve cells aren't doing well. They are filling up with gangliosides and dying. Idk the age of the patient because I am making it up as I make my care plan. The goal right now is not having public humiliation in front of my class after putting a good amount of effort.

Yes this patient is an imaginary tool my teacher is using to make me better at this. My patient has feeding tubes normally due to dysphagia. My patient is a toddler who can't move, has dementia and muscle atrophy.

I'm a nursing student. My homework is forming a nursing care plan My patients medical diagnosis is Infantile Tay-Sachs (Genetic incurable neurodegenerative disorder that only gets worse and is 100% fatal typically by age 5) We are going to assume my patient is progressed and need full time nursing care My 2 nanda DX are impaired skin integrity r/t paralysis and Self Care Deficit Syndrome r/t paralysis. The first one I think I am good on but I'm 100% stuck on the 2nd one because there is no hope for improvement with this type of patient and I have to improve them in a nursing way (theoretically). This is due tomorrow. I am looking for a little tutoring right now so I understand this better. This is my weakest subject in school
