The following outcome was developed for a client: "Client will list five personal strengths by the end of day one." Which correctly written nursing diagnostic statement most likely generated the development of this outcome?
1. Altered self-esteem R/T years of emotional abuse AEB self-deprecating statements
2. Self-care deficit R/T altered thought process
3. Disturbed body image R/T major depressive disorder AEB mood rating of 2/10
4. Risk for disturbed self-concept R/T hopelessness AEB suicide attempt
1
Rationale: The nurse should determine that altered self-esteem and self-deprecating statements would generate the outcome to list personal strengths by the end of day one. Self-care deficit, disturbed body image, and risk for disturbed self-concept would generate specific outcomes in accordance with specific needs and goals. The self-care deficit and risk for disturbed self-concept nursing diagnoses are incorrectly written.
