An appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with a cognitive dysfunction who has a limited ability to anticipate danger is:
a. Impaired Social Interaction. c. Risk for Injury.
b. Deficient Knowledge. d. Ineffective Coping.
ANS: C
The nurse needs to know that limited cognitive abilities to anticipate danger lead to risk for injury. Impaired social interaction is indeed a concern for the child with a cognitive disorder but does not address the limited ability to anticipate danger. Because of the child's cognitive deficit, knowledge will not be retained and will not decrease the risk for injury. Ineffective individual coping does not address the limited ability to anticipate danger.
