A patient has right-sided weakness and aphasia as a result of a stroke
but is attempting to use the left hand for feeding and other activities.
The patient's wife insists on feeding and dressing him, telling the nurse,
"I just don't like to see him struggle." A nursing diagnosis that is most
appropriate in this situation is
a. situational low self-esteem related to increasing dependence on
others.
b. interrupted family processes related to effects of illness of a family
member.
c. disabled family coping related to inadequate understanding by
patient's spouse.

intervals through intermittent catheterization. Assisting the patient to
the toilet will not be helpful because the bladder will not empty. The
Credé method is more appropriate for a bladder that is flaccid, such as
