Thanks for your advice everyone. My teacher told me we could use ourselves for the assignment I am not sure why it didn't make sense to me but I knew it would be easiest because I know myself the best so I chose myself. Anyways I asked her about my proposed Diagnosis and she said that would work. I am just having trouble finding really good nursing interventions to use for stress overload, other than the ones in my book (and yes I do have an Ackley nursing diagnosis book! it is great) but I wanted to incorporate more unique personal nursing interventions other than those generic ones. I am just having trouble because I am trying to find scientific evidence to back it up for my rationales and that is where I am stuck. if you all know of any great scientific websites with evidence on stress overload interventions let me know thanks!

Hey everyone I need help my teacher gave us an assignment we had to interview a person and get a complete health history and information about their psychosocial life, each body system, ect. and then we have to pick out a few areas for health promotion and pick one to write a nursing diagnosis on and a complete care plan on. I interviewed myself since I figured it would be easiest and I realized my major issues were stress due to school, my health, finances, my relationship and being away from home. From my health interview I realized I am very stressed about finances and I also am trying to eat healthier and workout but I can not afford healthy food. I have been put on blood pressure pills due to hypertension, which may be due to my stress levels. Anyways I narrowed my Nursing diagnosis down to a few, I really like Stress Overload R/T multiple stressors, I also though the Readiness for enhanced management of therapeutic regimen because I want to work on my health and hypertension but I do not have the resources to do it as well as I would like. I am not sure which one works best for me but I was thinking Stress Overload, my biggest issue at this point though if I choose that if figuring out how to write unique nursing interventions to stress overload. If anyone has any advice for me please let me know!

The ATI study manual helps a lot! Study it everyday! But I also recommend buying a book with all exam problems in it like KAPLAN's book with like 6 practice exams. The ATI manual only has like 2 or 3 and I think the more practice questiosn you have to do the better prepared you will be, that is what I found helped me and I got a great score!

Hey everyone, I have advice for all of you students trying to get into Nursing school, who need to take the TEAs exam. I just took mine in August and got a really good score and this is what I did to help me prepare. 1. Make sure you study in advance, don't wait until the last minute to prepare for it, I would recommend atleast 1 month in advance and set aside about 2 hours everyday to go over the material and study. 2. I would DEFINITELY recommend either renting or purchasing the ATI TEAs exam study guide book, I rented mine for only like 30 bucks for 2 months it is a lot cheaper than buying it. This study guide book has tons of great tips in it and has questions VERY similiar to the real exam, so it prepares you for how to answer those type of questions. 3. I would also recommend buying a TEAs exam practice book like KAPLAN's, I bought one that had like 6-10 practice exams in it. The ATI study guide book only has like 2 or 3 practice exams in it. I am telling you guys PRACTICE PRACTICE, PRACTICE. 4. Like I said in #3 the more practice test questions you do the better prepared you will be, and just because you have always done good in reading comprehension or math, don't skim over that section and concentrate on the hard sections. I made that mistake because I usually always score high in reading comprehension and so I didn't study that section hardly at all and that is the section I ended up scoring the lowest score in! So like I said before give yourself plenty of time to prepare for this and study. 5. Lastly take a deep breath and stay focused, the test is not really as bad as it seems and as long as your prepared you will do fine! But like I said before make sure u study and take lots of practice exams before the big day!
