A patient with attention deficit disorder is admitted to the hospital with type 1 diabetes
Which nursing diagnosis is commonly yet inappropriately used but should be avoided for this type of patient? Assume there are data to support all the diagnoses.
a. Deficient Recall (disease process)
b. Impaired Ability to Learn related to Fear and Anxiety
c. Difficulty Learning related to Cognitive Developmental Level
d. Lack of Motivation to Learn related to Feelings of Powerlessness
A
Patients who have a learning disability should not have an identified nursing diagnosis of Deficient Recall; instead, they should have a diagnosis that accurately identifies their problem, such as Impaired Ability to Learn related to Fear and Anxiety; Difficulty Learning related to Cognitive Development Level; or Lack of Motivation to Learn related to Feelings of Powerlessness. Note that these are not NANDA-I diagnoses.
