i'm doing a nursing care plan. the diagnosis is disturbed body image related to biophysical presence of stoma. for the symptoms i put that the patient turned the head away while doing abdominal assessment, liked to be covered at all times, refused to answer questions regarding the surgery. as for the self care agencies and deficits, what do i put here that will go along with the diagnosis?
