SCHIZOPHRENIA 2

Three Nursing Diagnoses

Primary physical diagnosis as a schizophrenic is disturbed thought content exhibited by

symptoms such as religiosed and persecutory delusions, inability to solve problems and his

inability to trust others leading to social withdrawal.

Psychological nursing diagnosis- Disturbed perception characterized by possible auditory

hallucinations as when talking, he seems to be arguing with someone (Marchionni et al., 2019).

The patient also shows signs of social anxiety and poor concentration.

Education nursing diagnosis- Hyper-focus on his academic work at the expense of other

aspects of his life. This might also have been contributed by his mother’s harsh criticism on

academic failure.

Health Assessment Priorities for Nursing Diagnosis

Diagnosing Francis as a schizophrenic is dependent on symptomatology of the disease

such as disturbed through content and perception. In assessing Francis, knowing his risks of self-

harm is highly critical. In addition, asking about the possible risk factors for the disorder, such as

family history and other triggering factors, would play a role in determining the way forward in

his treatment. It would also be crucial to decide whether Francis has insight into what is

happening to him and whether he remains positive to get better. Knowing Francis’ compliance

with his medication would also be critical in determining the absence of possible relapses (Kurtz,

2015).

State 5 or more appropriate interventions with evidence based practice rationale for each

action stated for each of the three primary nursing diagnoses.
