So any medical diagnosis is off limits. The pt was observed sucking their thumb, so that could be impaired skin integrity r/t... Readiness for enhanced sleep could be the suggestion to cut back on hours, sleep with earplugs, use room darkening curtains. Or should the suggestions be physically related: stop caffeine intake 6-8 hours before bedtime, no stimulation or exercise prior to sleep. I get the at risk now. Thanks for all the help.

Thank you for pointing out the medical diagnosis. I would've really messed that one up.

Can someone explain the differences between an "actual" diagnosis, a "wellness" diagnosis, and a "risk for" diagnosis. I'm thinking actual is for a pre-existing problem like depression. Wellness is for something that can be changed leading to better health, such as increase hours of sleep. Risk for would be consequences if no changes leading to suicide or obesity.
