Impaired skin integrity or risk for because of lesions and inflammation? I can add lesions to the case study if needed. It's just made up as we go for a paper we have to write.

I need 3 nursing diagnoses, 1 of which needs to be teaching related for health promotion. With 1 long-term and 1 short-term goal for each. For whatever reason, I am having a hard time writing nursing diagnoses. I have what I want but I'm not sure on how to write it out - ____ related to ____ as evidenced by ____. -Impaired skin integrity -Knowledge deficit (teaching one to teach on safe sex and not spreading infection) -Risk for disturbed body image or Risk for social isolation My case study: Allison Jones is a 32-year-old Caucasian female who presents for her routine gynecological exam. She complains of frequent and recurring itching in her lady partsl area along with a burning sensation and pain while urinating. Upon initial assessment, multiple clustered vesicles are present on the patient's inner and outer labia, excessive discharge from the lady parts, and enlarged lymph nodes are noted. The patient's vital signs are: blood pressure 112/68, pulse 62, respirations 14, O2 98%, and temp 99.7 F. Patient states she is currently sexually active with a history of multiple partners. Patient does not use condoms or contraceptives and reports no history of STDs. Patient reports a recent divorce. Patient is currently self-medicating with Tylenol as needed for pain.

Last week was my first week in one of my core nursing classes, Concepts I. It's been great so far. I'm in an accelerated program with classes being only 5 weeks long (in reality only 15 class nights) so that's always fun and challenging. Anyways, our quizzes are all on PrepU and I've been doing great. We have to reach a mastery level of 8 in order to get a 100% for the quiz grade in class. I'm just curious though if there is any sort of strategy to taking the PrepU's? I can take the questions in groups of 5, 10, or 20 but that hasn't seemed to make a difference in how often I level up. I can take 20 questions, get them all correct, and not have my level change. Then on the next round I can take only 5 questions, miss 2, and increase in mastery level. Any tricks to this?

Depends on the class for me. If I print the lectures, I take notes on the side of the page. Some classes I just write in a notebook. This term I started my actual core classes and we have iPads with e-books. I make highlights on the book app and review those afterwards.
