A nurse is caring for a visually impaired 20-month-old who has not begun to walk. An appropri-ate nursing diagnosis for this child would be:
1. Delayed growth and development.
2. Impaired physical mobility.
3. Self-care deficit.
4. Impaired home maintenance.
1
Rationale:
1. A 20-month-old child who is not walking is delayed in growth and development.
2. The child's mobility is not due to a physiologic problem, so impaired mobility is not appropri-ate.
3. Self-care deficit does not apply to a child this age.
4. There are not enough data to determine whether home maintenance is impaired.
