The nurse is caring for a client with genital herpes experiencing a reoccurrence. Which nursing diagnosis would be the priority?
A) Knowledge Deficit
B) Powerlessness
C) Anxiety
D) Impaired Skin Integrity
D
Feedback:
The priority nursing diagnosis focuses on the Impaired Skin Integrity. Interventions would include nursing instruction on the care of the skin to prevent further infection to self and others. The nurse would also focus on the management of the disease. Because this is a reoccurrence, Knowledge Deficit is not a priority. Psychosocial nursing diagnoses are not a priority at this time unless other data suggests.
