A client diagnosed with major depressive disorder states, "Why should I keep trying to get a job? I mess up everything I do." Which correctly written nursing diagnosis best reflects the content and mood themes in this client's statement?
A. Hopelessness R/T poor job performance
B. Risk for impaired adjustment R/T inadequate social skills AEB isolation
C. Altered role performance R/T the fear of failure AEB not seeking employment
D. Chronic low self-esteem R/T major depressive disorder AEB self-hatred
C
An actual nursing diagnosis must include related to (R/T) and as evidenced by (AEB) statements. A "risk for" diagnosis does not contain AEB because there is only a potential for the problem; it doesn't yet exist. The client's statement indicates that role performance is altered because fear of failure prevents seeking employment.
