The client is a high school student who is also a single parent. She is attending parenting classes while studying full time and living in an apartment with her child
The student also meets twice a week with a teen peer group and participates in a nutrition program through the county. Which is the most appropriate diagnosis for this client?
1. Risk for Situational Low Self-Esteem
2. High Risk for Caregiver Role Strain
3. Readiness for Enhanced Coping
4. Readiness for Enhanced Nutrition
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The information given in the scenario does not indicate that the client is experiencing problems with low self-esteem.
Rationale 2: The information given in the scenario does not indicate that the client is experiencing problems with caregiver role strain.
Rationale 3: Wellness diagnoses describe the human responses to levels of wellness in an individual. In this situation, even though the client is young and single, she is making every effort to be well in her situation. Attending parenting classes, meeting with peers, and learning about nutrition all point to a person who has a positive outlook but requires teaching.
Rationale 4: The client is doing much more than just learning about nutrition. She is learning how to cope and be well in her life and the life of her child.
