Nursing Diagnoses Related to Nutrition
-
Risk Nursing Diagnoses: Indicate potential nutrition-related problems; includes:
- Risk for Aspiration
- Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition: More/Less than Body Requirements
-
Actual Nursing Diagnoses: Reflect existing nutrition-related issues; includes:
- Impaired Swallowing
- Feeding: Self-Care Deficit
- Imbalanced Nutrition: More/Less than Body Requirements
-
Health Promotion Nursing Diagnoses: Focus on positive behavioral changes; includes:
- Readiness for Enhanced Nutrition
- Readiness for Enhanced Knowledge
Risk Nursing Diagnoses Examples
- Impaired nutrition risk examples:
- Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements (chronic nausea, loss of appetite)
- Risk for Aspiration (difficulty swallowing due to facial paralysis)
Actual Nursing Diagnoses Examples
- Examples indicate specific conditions:
- Impaired Swallowing related to neurological damage post-cerebrovascular accident; evidenced by gagging/choking.
- Feeding: Self-Care Deficit related to spinal cord injury; evidenced by paralysis and inability to self-feed.
- Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements due to inadequate intake; evidenced by physical wasting and significant weight loss.
- Imbalanced Nutrition: More than Body Requirements; evidenced by weight gain from excessive caloric intake.
Health-Promotion Nursing Diagnoses Structure
- Follow the format: diagnosis label + defining characteristics.
- Examples include:
- Readiness for Enhanced Nutrition (desire for balanced diet, knowledge of nutritional guidelines).
- Readiness for Enhanced Knowledge (requesting materials on healthy food choices).
Diagnosis Formats
- Health-Promotion Nursing Diagnoses: diagnosis label + defining characteristics.
- Risk Nursing Diagnoses: diagnosis label + risk factors.
- Actual Nursing Diagnoses: diagnosis label + related factors + defining characteristics.
Key Definitions
- Impaired Swallowing: Residual effects of neurological damage.
- Feeding: Self-Care Deficit: Associated with sensory and motor deficits.
- Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements: Caused by inadequate dietary intake.
- Imbalanced Nutrition: More Than Body Requirements: Resulting from excessive calorie consumption.
Focus Areas
- Nursing diagnoses target preventing nutrition-related issues, managing current problems, and enhancing nutritional status through structured approaches.
