Thank you and I absolutely agree with your thoughts regarding this assignment. Which is also why I am struggling with it because this is exactly opposite what we have been taught for the last 2 years...your symptoms will indicate your nanda not the other way around. I am beyond frustrated!

We have to write a priority NANDA and interventions with rationale for anemia. It is not for a specific patient but just in general. I am leaning toward activity intolerance but with no information I am really struggling how to decide what priority would be. Most Anemia NANDAs are focused on the symptoms which is pretty hard to write since it is not for a specific patient. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I have Ackley and I knew that I was forcing the diagnosis to fit my needs versus finding a diagnosis that fit my supporting data. I was stuck where I was an unable to move forward. I think impaired comfort was definitely where I was trying to go. I appreciate your help.

I had a patient that was dying and had accepted her diagnosis. She chose to end medications and life continuing treatments. She wanted to die comfortably and with as much dignity as possible. Palliative care was involved. The NANDA I currently have isReadiness for enhanced comfort r/t impending death aeb expressed desire to increase morphine I am unsure that this would be the best NANDA for this scenario. I don't want to use powerlessness or hopelessness because she understood the choices that she was making and to her this was her way of taking power. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! FYI: the PT died shortly after I left for the day.
