A nurse is caring for a visually impaired 20-month-old client who has not begun to walk. Which nursing diagnosis would be appropriate for this child?
1. Self-care Deficit
2. Impaired Physical Mobility
3. Impaired Home Maintenance
4. Delayed Development
4
Explanation:
1. Self-care Deficit does not apply to this age of child.
2. The child's mobility is not due to a physiologic problem, so impaired mobility is not appropriate.
3. There are not enough data to determine if home maintenance is impaired.
4. A 20-month-old child who is not walking is experiencing delayed development. Toddlers generally walk by 15 months of age.
