pyschosocial nursing diagnosis

Published

Hi, I need some ideas for a psychosocial care plan on a 17 yr old immigrant bitten by a snake. Thanks.

You have really given no information here for any real assistance -- for a proper psychosocial evaluation you would need to consider mental health; sexuality; social, cultural, and ethnic identity; and values and beliefs.

Are there any cultural barriers for this client? Language differences?

Think Maslow and Erikson here as well --- at 17 years old has he progressed correctly to identity vs. confusion.. was this process delayed at all secondary to his immigration?

Is his family visiting and supporting during the illness? what about friends and peers?

A through assessment will reveal worlds of information -- best of luck.

Nursing DX must be determined by your nursing assessment findings. You don't just pull one out of the air.
