Today in class our professor walked in and told us to take out a sheet of paper (a statement which usually causes extreme panic). She told us to write out a nursing diagnosis for ourselves this morning. Nursing diagnoses are designed to address human responses to disease processes. There is a standardized list of diagnoses and they follow a specific format. There is the diagnosis, the etiology, and the signs and symptoms. Here's what I came up with
"Ineffective coping related to being in class on Friday when there is fresh snow to be skied in, as manifested by increased blood pressure, extreme agitation, and a lack of interest in the present class."
I volunteered to read my diagnosis out loud in class. Luckily our professor is one of those people that not only understands, but also appreciates sarcasm.
