For the case of the patient stated above, the nurse will likely diagnose:

Weight gain and a faulty self-perception.

The expected outcome of the diagnosis is:

  • An improved understanding of the pregnancy condition and realistic expectations that the patient should have.
  • Learning needs that can occur in this scenario will involve a nurse-to-patient discussion that helps the patient understand how to take care of herself, improve her self-perception, and maintain a clean dietary routine.

 Interventions with rationales that correspond to the priority nursing diagnosis include:

  • Talks and empathetic listening will help the patient to cope. Advising the patient to relate with other pregnant women so that she can feel encouraged.

What is impaired self-perception?

An impaired self-perception is the feeling that a person has when they feel that they do not meet societal expectations or that they are not the way they used to be.

When the patient comes to the nurse with these needs, the nurse will build her self-confidence and help her to take better care of herself.
