I lost points on a Case Study assignment because I gave a medical diagnosis instead of a nursing diagnosis. When I asked for clarification, I was directed to the syllabus...which was no help.
This is an online "fundamentals" class. The lab component (taught by a different teacher) is teaching the assessment skills (vitals, etc).
So my question here is:
What's the difference in the diagnosis terms?
and
This is my first nursing class ever. 4 weeks ago, I learned how to take BP....should I be making any sort of diagnosis at all?
can somebody help me with writing a diagnosis for the following problem.
ellissa is an overweight college student. she explains to the nurse that she knows she makes poor food choices, but does so because she is too busy to plan healthy meals while in school and working. she also explains that when she is feeling anxiety she copes by eating high carbs and sugary foods. Elissa is currently 3olbs. over weight and states " I hate the way I look and feel."
