Nursing care plans include nursing diagnoses that have nutritional significance when the nurse assesses it as being necessary
If the nurse is writing a nursing care plan for a client with an obvious nutritional deficiency, which nursing diagnosis would be most appropriate to include? A) Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements
B) Deficient fluid volume: less than body requirements
C) Constipation
D) Impaired oral mucous membrane
A
Feedback:
The readiness for enhanced nutrition diagnosis relates directly to nutrition when altered nutrition is the problem, or indirectly when a change in intake will help to manage a nonnutritional problem. A deficient fluid volume, constipation, or impaired oral mucous membranes can be related to nutrition, but they are not considered an obvious nutritional deficiency.
