The
Assignment

As the
school nurse working in a college health clinic, you see many opportunities to
promote health. Maria is a 40-year-old Hispanic who is in her second year of
nursing school. She complains of a 14-pound weight gain since starting school
and is afraid of what this will do to both her appearance and health if the
trend continues. After conducting her history, you learn that she is an
excellent cook and she and her family love to eat foods that reflect their
Hispanic heritage. She is married with two school-age children. She attends
class a total of 15 hours per week, plus she must be present for 12 hours of
labs and clinical. She maintains the household essentially by herself and does
all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring of the children. She
states that she is lucky to get 5 hours of sleep per night, but that is okay
with her. She drinks coffee all morning to “keep her going.” She
lives 1 hour from campus and commutes each day, and often drinks diet cola to
“stay awake.” When asked what she does to relax and de-stress, Maria
states she “doesn’t even have time to think about that.”

Maria’s
vitals today are as follows; T 98.6, R 20, HR 88, BP 148/90

Using the
lesson and text as your guide, answer the following questions.

What
additional assessment data (subjective and/or objective) would you like to
gather from Maria?

What actual
health concerns and risk factors have you identified?

What are
some opportunities to promote health and wellness for Maria?

nursing diagnosis for Maria (actual, wellness or risk), based on one of the
health concerns or opportunities you have identified. (Please use one of the
formulas outlined in the text and lesson!)

Remember to
