Problems Identified | Rationale | Goals of Care | Interventions |
Disturbed body image related to alteration in self-perception AEB feeling of extra consciousness on physical appearance (skin and weight) | According to a study by Tasoula et. al (2012), teens with acne showed that feelings of unworthiness due to negative appraisal by peers is evident in this population. The severity of acne proportionally impacts their self-perception hence developing a sense of disturbed body image. This is considered diagnosis due to the present cues supporting the validity of the problem. | Please refer to the NCP above | Please refer to the NCP above |
Ineffective coping related to maturational crisis AEB change in communication pattern with parent and inability to deal with stress/current situation | This problem has been selected as a problem due to the mother’s report of her child being distant due to facing maturational crisis. Adolescence is a period of change and coping mechanisms may be unhealthy if the adolescent is not properly supported. In this stage, the client needs a supportive environment that fosters active, empathic listening and values communication. Adolescents is also a period of risk taking hence, proper guidance should be provided with assistance from the parents and counselors. This diagnosis targets both client and family hence, can provide a holistic solution to the family. | Please refer to the NCP above | Please refer to the NCP above |
Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to insufficient dietary intake AEB verbalization of “trying to lose weight” and BMI below the 5th percentile for age, sex and height. | The client has a BMI below the 5th percentile for age, sex and height and is an indicator it may hinder proper growth and development. Dieting is popular among adolescent girls to fit into societal standards of attractiveness and can lead to eating disorders. This problem should be addressed as early as possible to avoid leading to psychological manifestations. |
The client will: - progressively gain weight as evidenced by 0.5 lbs. per week - identify nutritional requirements for adolescents Recognize eating behaviors that contribute to being underweight |
The student nurse will: - Educate client on appropriate weight for adolescents and how to achieve weight gain - Explain how to create a meal plan that will aid growth and development Create healthy meal plan that promotes healthy food choices and high satiety |
Anticipated Problems | Rationale |
Situational low self-esteem related to alteration in body image AEB feeling extra conscious of her looks due to presence of pimples on face and neck | The client has expressed feelings of extra consciousness due to her appearance, hence it will soon affect her self-esteem and may lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Depression and social isolation may also be the results of low-self-esteem. According to Raty and Gustafsson (2006), validation of emotions is related to a client’s experience of caring, this signifies that emotional help and validation from nursing interventions can impact the client’s self-perception and self-esteem. |
Ineffective adolescent eating dynamics related to changes to self-esteem and excessive stress AEB verbalization of ‘trying to lose weight’ and experienced academic-related stress | Since the client has expressed concerns related to self-image, this problem can soon manifest. Ineffective adolescent eating dynamics can be a precipitating factor to eating disorders that is currently prevalent among adolescents. |
Stress overload related to academic and personal stressors AEB verbalization of experienced stress | It is common knowledge that stress alters our physical and cognitive function hence affects our health, well-being, and performance. It is important to address this problem once the client has insufficient resources to cope or reduce the amount of stress by teaching healthy coping mechanisms as stated above (ineffective coping). A more focused nursing intervention on stress reduction shall be provided once problem occurs or intensifies. |

I apologize for the late submission Prof. Aldaba. I was not able to read through the rubrics hence I was not able to include a health education plan. I deeply apologize, I hope my work will still be considered.
